I did it...

I replaced the silver accent piece. It doesn't fit 100% the way i want it to, but for as much of a pain as it was to install, ill take it. Did it without unplugging the controversial sensors and without fully removing the bumper. Granted I broke 90% of the clips from the OEM part and will probably need a new bumper, at least I can enjoy the new look for a while before it all falls off.
