i actually saw this yesterday, i had the bumper off to replace the sidelights to halos

The actual chrome bit has the clips that go through the bumper to clip on behind. If you took them off there would be small holes at the top where the clips used to go through. I dont know if it wood be noticeable or not but if you could get colour coded versions to clip in like the chrome does it might be better.
