Got a question on the painting of the m-tech bumper. Are you supposed to leave the portion around the fog lights as they come with the bumper unpainted? Or is that supposed to be painted. Also the gril, is that ever painted black or just matte as it comes?

My (bumper) grill is matte black, but I don't think it's painted.
