Although many complained about the 997's bumperettes they are a far better solution than replacing or repainting an entire back end on a P-car. I replaced a bumperette on my car several years ago because of a similar scrap in parking and although it took some time to R&R the old one and put in the new (to include paint work) it was far cheaper than dealing with the entire back end. I think Americans in big cities are going to miss that a lot.
I have noticed from living in Germany for many years that people are much more concerned about others' cars and thus it is very rare to experience a door ding or a 'touch' from a car during parallel parking. In America it is very common in big cities to park via the braille method...

Those bumperettes saved my 997.2 twice.
Once when an idiot rear-ended me, and once when I was the idiot and backed into the garage door.
Cheaply replaced by bumperplugs.com.
So yeah, I think about them sometimes in the 991. I keep one eye on the rearview when I stop.
