For us SE owners... Just a thought on the fog light covers

Has anyone had a problem with these covers popping loose?

Ā 

We lost the right one while driving (heard something but didn't know what at the time) went back later and couldn't find it.Ā  This was the same side that received a "minor" deer hit a year ago so thought that might have weakened it causing it to finally let go.Ā  Recently, however, I noticed the left cover was loose at the front corner.Ā  It looked like one of the plastic clips might have broken but it snapped back so it looked OK but I don't trust it.

Ā 

Back to color - has anyone painted them?Ā  I'm thinking about it when I get the replacement(s).Ā  Could do without "black eyes" on a white car!

I did.Ā  Seems like I may be the only one.Ā  I like the look.Ā  This is from my post on Plasti-dip on this site.Ā  I have an SEL so it's with fog lights and I have the white platinum color (hard to match) but, it might give you a clue.Ā  It's been over a year now and no chipping or pealing issues.

I painted mine with Rustoleum 2X white gloss. The color is pretty close and you can only tell it's not factory paint in certain light. I think it looks much better than stock. I was originally planning to mask the fake grilles but was too lazy, but I think it looks fine all whiteĀ 

Ā 

Use a sharp object to pop out the front edge, then pull outward. Then once the front, top, and bottom clips are popped out, slide the whole thing forward. It takes a lot of force to pull forward and overcome the rear clips.Ā 

Ā 

Mine don't seem to pop back in 100%, I guess I did some damage to the clips

Well, that certainly won't work with my Ice Storm!
