That looks fantastic! I will definitely be doing the plugs, and maybe the lenses too.

Good job OP. Can you share us the link where you bought a bumper plugs? I was thinking about taking my bumper to bodyshop for covering up those holes and making the bumper in fresh condition.

Not required in my state thankfully! However, If I had to have one, I think I would use a tow hook mount for the front plate.

Thanks! The turn lenses were very easy to install and not very expensive. I followed the bulb change procedure in the manual to get them switched out.

in some states, the lack of a front bumper gets you a ticket - happened to me

Odd that Georgia only gives out one plate if that is the case. I live in the Southeast and have never had a front plate. Most people down here have a decorative plate if anything.

Very nice, and an easy mod too. I have the Orange side indicators, but my 987.2 Cayman S is Guards Red, so it looks fine. Did change them out on my black Turbo though. No front plate in Michigan, thank goodness.
