Why cant you get 2 plastic plugs from an automotive store and just shoot em the same color as your car?

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from Eric at Bumper Plugs. He's a rennlist member and a great guy to work with. Also if you have any issues his customer service is first rate.

+1

Nothing but good things to say about Eric and his products.

A can a mtch paint is like $20 from UAP..so $25 isn't so bad IMO. They'll match your car's colour perfectly.

Suck it up and break open the wallet man!

I purchased a set of Polar Silver bumper plugs from Eric a few years ago. The paint has held up well, and at the time, I was happy to find the product.

That being said, I may just make a batch of these and sell them as I'll have some Polar Silver paint soon...

My first two 'upgrades' were from Eric, clear sidelights and the plugs to go in the car drivers key hole, nice finishing touch.
Actually, if anyone has an artic silver and wants the driver plug let me know, i got sent two and only neededone.

cheers

Holes are getting filled when I get my car painted next month. No plugs for me.

First, if $25 is going to kill you, sell the Porsche NOW & get a Honda.

I have spent a lot of money with him in the last month, about $300 on what? A dumb red S, a "993" rear badge, & of course bumper plugs. Top noth service, & he even sent me the wrong S & then sent out the proper one with the notch of my 4, with a return envelope.

Yup, it's dumb to spend $25 on 2 plastic plugs, but really, it makes the car look so much nicer!!

There are some on eBay now for $1 a piece unpainted.

+1 for Eric.

The money you save can go towards that 944 group buy for valve stem caps.

Sweet!

This is actually for the Volvo, not the porsche. I have the license plate on the porsche :). I agree it looks much nicer with the bumper holes covered, well worth the time to make some thing to cover it. You enjoy paying 25$, i'll pay nothing and have some thing that looks just as good.

StickShift964 02-28-2008 10:53 PM

will you steal the supplies that you use to make it then? You will pay somehow in the end

Ian Carr 02-28-2008 11:06 PM

No I am using stuff I have lying around. READ.

+1 for Eric. He has done much research and trial and error to get the product he sells. Installation took a few minutes.

I went by and picked up two sets for the wife's Boxster (dealer had already installed front bracket) in person. You do get what you pay for. The plugs are top notch (also got the keyhole plug for my 997).
