Very easy 5 minutes job. Just 2 bolts on each side accessible from below. To make it easier just lift up the car on the highest level. No need of any diffuser removal.

On 75% they are silver. You can buy black aftermarket but the price is crazy. The best solution is to remove them and paint. Even with the plasti dip. There is no high temperature.

Here are black tips. These tips were originally silver and were painted black. As you see the price is very high.
