Does anyone make stickers to go there? You could change the color whenever you got bored then.

Nichiole, Hooked on cars makes a really nice high quality insert. Looks great. I went with silver!

OK, Now I have another question. Should I paint my bumperettes? The paint shop asked, but I thought no. Now looking at that picture above, maybe not a bad idea. What's the vote?

They are inserts, not stickers. A 1/8 of an inch or so, raised with a adhesive on the back.

I like the bumpettes painted on mine, but that is my opinion. Do what you like, it's your car! Either way it will look sweet, it is a 928 ya know!

Do you have a slightly off center or even more right angle shot to see how they look from the sides? I might go with the inserts -- over stickers/paint. But would like to see more angles and closer up. Any more pictures would be much appreciated.

I'm on the fence so I put another post up to mass opinion. Seems 50/50 so far. My thought it I could paint them and easily swap back to black with a 2nd set of bumpers. I've got a few days to decide as they are sanding and preping the bumpers now.

I will take some pictures for you tomorrow. Hopefully that will help. Also with the inserts you could change color when you want.

It would be very easy to paint the bumpette's the same color and if you don't like it paint them black. You could do that yourself easily!

Remove them altogether.
