The camera is the tricky part. It’s held in there by three prongs which the IND guy told me would just unclip but I couldn’t get it to do that by myself, so I unplugged it, left it on the grill and just masked it off... that body shop idea sounds like a good one, no doubt cheaper than buying a whole new grille painted the way you want it. Where I live though it would probably have taken them a week to get around to painting it, so I’ll probably go the whole new grill route.
Thanks for being the first to try this and sharing with the rest of us! Much appreciated!
