    If you'll contact me, I can share some info with you regarding removing the rear bumper. Also, I've got some paint info for you that will match the rough textured plastic as close as I've been able to find...

    I'm sure you know this already but the parts of the 2 grilles on the bumper that are not open are that way to keep you from seeing the bumper brace behind there. Could just paint it all black to hide it though.

    Thanks, I already have the bedliner paint that I am going to use, and have matched a textured roller that should get me the needed texture. I want to use the bedliner to keep the rear aero bumper part from getting sand blasted off again from the CO road grime. If I have to, I will also put it on the plastic trim, but hope I don't have too.

    I am thinking of using the same bedliner to paint those areas too. Lots of uses for this stuff.:aureola:
