@Eric - Plug Guy How easy are these reflectors to remove?

Five minutes. We send details - no bumper removal required.

Assuming a) you are referring to the license plate wedges, and b) a tier 1 dealer told you this. I'd be very shocked if PCNA voided a warranty on the entire vehicle if these attachments were removed, other than a rear-end bumper failure or similar.

Another picture of the “inside” of the rear bumper of a US version of a GT3. It looks like 4 holes will be visible on each side of the license plate.

On a separate note, can someone share a DIY/instructions on how the bumper is removed?

@Eric - Plug Guy Can you make them in any color? If so, I'd like to order a set for my incoming PTS car.

Someone please confirm that the “wedges” are the four screws and not the four little push pins?

In many cases, yes. The only caveat is we're seeing a few PTS colors where the factory has 'tweaked' the formula to suit the material makeup of the vehicle, and adhere to current regulations (older formulations oil based vs today's water based). The end result on PTS is that it looks just like it did on a 1975 Porsche (for example). However, due to these possible tweaks, some matches may not be 100% perfect. 8/10 have worked really well and look perfect. A couple of colors were slightly off. In rare cases, we have had the vehicles 'scanned' so that we can produce using the same exact formula (if tweaked/tinted in any way). Email us at info@bumperplugs.com with PTS details and we'll check for you.

Now we just need to figure out how to remove the bumper triangles without removing the rear bumper…anyone know if you can you get to the screws with removing the exhaust?

Hmm what looks better: the bumperettes, or the holes left behind after removal plugged with little bumps?

First time you back it into a tire wall they will pop right off

I wouldn't mind pulling mine off.
