Cost of Respraying front and rear bumper guards
#2
I don't know about the rear, but my euro turbo s bumper sprayed and installed cost me approx $400. Obviously there was no prep work on this new bumper so that would be additional.
Oh, see you are asking about bumper guards - do you mean bumperettes?

Actually, I will be getting a new rear bumper. Mine has a crack in it that starts just below the right muffler and goes down. Have no idea how this happened. Im ordering a rear bumper cover which will be and that will have to be finished and painted. Probably a little more working Im guess. As long as they are at it, might as well get the front one done as well-resprayed that is.
Attached a pic of the crack.

Since I cant type or make grammar sense tonight, I do have a shop picked out and its very reputable. Over 40 years in the business and I know several people with first hand experience-all Porsches. Im not cheap when it comes to quality and service. I have no problems paying for good work. Just trying to get a rough estimate.
Now excuse me my why I go make my 3rd Makers Mark and Coke!!

Why don't you get the Euro bumper (without those stupid bumperettes)? No need to paint the bumperettes and looks waaaaay better.
BTW, what do you do with your old broken bumper? I might be interested.

Okay...I'll bite...I have a issue with my rear bumper, and have been trying figure out what I'm going to do. Since it involves paint work I thought I should have everything done at once, new front splitters, spoiler, paint front splitters and rear bumper.....now the issue of the bumperettes has been brought up!
What do you do with the basket handle and center brake light if you add a rear "S" or Turbo style spoiler?
Can you paint the front and rear bumperettes, and will it come out nice???
Anyone with more pictures of this?
I have a artic white cab and have some slight staining of the very bottom of the side sills, better to respray or add aero kit on the sides?

To answer some of your questions:
I had the basket handle removed when I had the wing installed.
In addition to the fact that the Gemballa wing has a center brake light, I personally think it looks "weird" to have both a wing and the basket handle.
I've got the basket handle and original automatic wing mechanism sitting in the garage as I can't decide if I should sell them or not.
Yes! I didn't want to change the front bumper (yet), and the car was already at the shop getting the wing painted, so I had them also do the bumperettes.
You do need a really good paint shop that preps the bumperettes and uses the right compounds to adhere to the rubber.
As an alternative, you could do the exchange program with www.bumperplugs.com for pre-painted ones.

russ beautiful cab... begging to be lowered & for some 18's
i've been pondering getting rid of the basket handle on the cab too. was actually thinkin' i may try & have the brake light installed into an rs tail (gotta' talk to my shop 2 c if they can do) will then do the side skirts & splitters as well.
