Replacing Front Parking Sensor

So, I need to replace the front parking sensor on my '16 RDX. The paint is mostly missing front the original owner. Its only like $9 each painted. I'm wondering if anyone has messed with them and if they are easily accessible front under the car without removing the entire bumper. Rather not use touch up paint because I'm 100% sure it won't look as good.

This is the part I'm talking about. Its not the center circle but the circle around it that I need to replace.

why make your life difficult? Popping off bumpers really isn't as hard as it seems! It'll make things a LOT easier!

Hahah I took one off a Lexus years ago. Rather avoid removing bumpers if I can.

Then just remove the lower shroud and reach up in there and have at it!
