    Does anyone know how to change this? I got a few nicks in mine. The part is so cheap figured I’d just change it myself.

    Drop the whole front bumper, after removing the grille and the pieces under the headlights. Will need to drop skid plate as well along with mud flaps and fender liners (essentially everything around the bumper). Once the bumper is off, there are like 8 (don't quote me on quantity) bolts holding the caps to the black center portion.

    Swap it and throw it all back together.

    I swapped bumpers a while back and this is what it looks like with the bumper removed. You won't need to remove the crash bar for your needs but I had mine off. Mine is on the left and buddies is on the right.

    No need to drop the skid plate. Just remove the 3 screws on the front of it.
