They are rivets and they are mounted far enough in they they should t touch the bumper. I have not test fitted it yet but spitfire481 has and might be able to get a pic of where they actually rest when it's mounted to the car.

If you were to chop off the upper portion, would it still flow with the bumper's "mouth"?

So has anyone seen or has considered painting the entire front clip body color instead of spraying in the flat black areas?

The section you guys are looking to cut are hollow. when you cut that you will have a decent gap between the lip and bumper

Could you snap a few pics before you spray the satin black? You have the same color as I do and would love to see it.

I have that same lip, I have to grind down the corners a little bit where the fog light bezel is or else it doesn't really fit flush when you actually have fog lights so keep that in mind if you are ever going to install fog lights in the future. When you have everything painted and mounted already it'll be a lot harder to work on afterwards.

I will be taping off the satin sections before spraying the body color. Then coming back in a few days and spraying the satin black. That way rock chips in the satin black will always show black, not body color
