It appears there where some Bronco Sports with a lighter lower front Bumper trim.
The piece that surrounds the Tow hook cut outs on both sides.

From looking at a Non cut out front bumper facia it appears that you could be removed and painted. Or if available buy one already the lighter color and switch out.
Here's a facia with that piece not installed

Here's that piece I found a picture of

It appears from the pictures that this piece could be installed
with or with out cutting out holes for installation of tow hooks.

That trim is standard on the Badlands, I'm assuming its swappable to non Badlands assuming the front bumper is the same?

These come unpainted/primed. On the OB, they are painted a gloss black to match the grill; on the BL they are painted carbonized gray to 'match' the grill and fender trim. Not sure on the base or BB.

Thanks! Sounds like if I want it to pop and painted carbonized gray - I should just remove the one on my Bronco - prep, paint, clear coat and reinstall.

Alrighty then.....
After watching quite a few clips on the front bumper removal I think I'm going to do a careful tape off job and prep my existing tow hook Bezel location for painting.
You're not getting that thing off without accessing the rear to unclip which means bumper removal.
Just need to decide if I want to go all out and do tow hooks too.

It can be removed without pulling off the bumper. I've done it. Where the tow hooks are you can reach behind and squeeze the tabs to release. Once that's done, you can CAREFULLY pull while sliding a trim removal tool along the thin part of the trim to release.

Thanks for the tip!
I feel more confident to attempt the removal.
