changing bumper caps

While driving on good old South Florida's turnpike, a tire carcass gets kicked up by a truck an into my path. Long story short, I need a right fog lamp and a new front bumper cap. My MDX is silver and I really did not like the light grey bumper caps so I ordered the dark gray caps instead. I think the difference will be subtle in a better way.

I ordered them from acuraoemparts.com. The whole set up is less than $260.00. I figured I need the front cap anyways ,why not Change it up a little.

contact tim @ hondaacuraworld.com, the grey plastic portion of the bumper should be pretty cheap, like 35 or 40 dollars, and no painting is necessary.
