Door Plugs
 
Anyone have a photo (or can someone take one) of a BumperPlugs door plug installed on a 993? I have a set of bumper plugs and wanted to get some of the door plugs. The photos online is of a 996 which has a different door handle.

I did a search, but couldn't find a photo.

Thanks!

I have these on the black cab and the GT3 ... and I like them. The '95 rivi blue cab does not have keyless entry. I have searched my bank of pics ... and none of them show the door handle close enough to see them.

I have a set and the driver side looks great. Unfortunately, I have a 97 with no key slot on the passenger side and therefore still have a black plastic dot, and an extra artic silver door-plug.

I didn't know they sell door plugs. Mine is missing from the drivers door. Do you have a link?

Thanks for the link. It states that it made for current model. Does anyone know how it fits in the 993?

Read my post above - they press into the key slot.
Apparently (and I learned this the hard way), in 97 (?) and above, there is no key slot on the passenger side.
Tom- if you only need one, I have an extra. PM if you have interest.

I suppose this is nitpicking but since the plug holds open the little door that normally keeps out dirt and moisture, is this necessarily a wise mod? Inquiring minds want to know. :icon107:

They're great. Colour match is very good on my arctic.
Just make sure you order TWO. They don't automatically
get sold in pairs, so I ended up with only one. bastards.

edit: I havent confirmed if my passenger door factory (black)
pug is sitting atop a key slot ... couldnt get it off with my fingers.

You can get black ones from Porsche...about $0.88 last time I bought them. Black goes well since the gasket is black. I am not sure but I think the car shipped with them. BTW, some a**hole took the one that I had on my drivers door, they are easy to steal..

You can always use touch-up paint on a stock one to create your own "lock-plug". :-)

Cheers,

MIke

I thought the same, so I put a small amount of silicon sealant under it.
Be careful not to push that stuff into the lock.

Good idea!

I have a pair of Arctic Silver bumper plugs unused if anyone here needs. The door plugs are great, replacing the factory black plug in the door locks.

H.H Chin,
is that avatar a shot of your car as it was delivered?

Your car looks MINT!

Thanks for the photo! I ordered mine. Got my bumper plugs a while ago and had to wait to install my keyless entry before I could get the door plugs.
