If I remove the rear bumperettes, is there a plate or insert available to fill in the space????

2 choices:
1. Euro rear bumper
2. Send your bumperettes to Eric at Bumperplugs.com (he's the DaVinci of Porsche paint) and he'll paint them to match.

FWIW, I went with option 2.

I never heard of anyone investing further in their bumperettes. Do you happen to have a pic?

I bought mine a Roth IRA.

I painted mine:



But I'll be removing them for a tire trailer hitch. My plan is to cut out the excess area and put a screen under it.

Filling th holes is a customizing process. Here is a link to how the fronts are filled. You could apply a similar technique to the rear:

You will need to cut off the bumper reinforcement first and then you can fill the hole with plastic filler.

BTW pewter82, where in MidMo are you? Given the fact that last time I lived in Columbia (2000-2004) there were no paint shops in the area that used actual Porsche paint, you might be best served using Bumperplugs as suggested above.

i like the painted rear bumperettes. that's one of the first things i'm going to do next year. i bit pricey if i recall...somewhere around $300, right?

MDamen

Painting just about anything seems to be $300 by the time they remove it, prep it, paint it, clean up and install.

I filled in mine, front and back and painted bumper.

$24 - One can of primer, color and clear. I already had the sandpaper.

But I don't care if my white does not match perfectly (it does not). I think you can get pretty close with a can of color from paintscratch.com or one of those places.

Jim, what did you use to fill your rear's with???
