can the bumperettes be replaced?

my garage guy scratched my rear bumberette, it's not noticable to anyone but me, but that enough for me to want to change it. do they sell pre-painted ones that i can just olt on or do i have to go the whole body shop route?
TIA!

It's to make the bump sound more noticeable when you parallel park in to something, so you know it's time to switch from R to D on your lever thingy sticking out from the middle of the car with that weird "P-R-N-D" written on it, I think.

They come in primer if you order them from a dealer. Clip-on ..may be tricky to remove w/o advice.

They are tabbed for slots and have to be painted first. Email me with any questions, we do these often.
