I'm actually kind of surprised no one has tried to work out a swap yet.

Someone out there with a '13 front would rather have a '12 - '09 front and vice versa...

probably, not sure. there was a guy mentioned you can just pull on it and the tabs let loose, and you can completely remove that piece from the cluster to paint.

Painting it is not an option IMO. I can't paint it to look as good as factory. I would either have to do it by hand (probably not the best idea) or mask off the tiny amber colored portions and spray it (which would be very difficult and probably not very precise as well as high potential to screw up the paint finish during removal of the tape).

I think he was responding to my question about the different colors of the gauge display (not the entire front bumper). But with regard to the front bumper, I might... I really like the fangs
