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.

Someone out there with a '13 front would rather have a '12 - '09 front

1.Front bumper difference with LEDs... Obiviously
2.Rear fog light is red while in previous years they have been tinted grey.

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

I wish I could have both, the DRL/LEDs and the fangs!

Mine was really stiff. A trip to the strip seems to have lightened it up.
