Default Bumperette Delete ^_^
So after Cars&Coffee in Irvine, CA today my bumper decided to walk away :P j/k



Well actually the prior owner of the the vehicle decided to back it up over a parking block and thought after pulling forward the plastic would win vs the concrete when pulling away from it, but it didn't go as planned.



So therefore I had another bumper; had the open pockets deleted, and bumperettes deleted.

Viola!

That is the plan (most likely) might throw a little curveball into the mix

Nice! I've been about having mine done. Has anyone had issues of the holes cracking after they are filled?

Had mine done last year on the new 993. Hate bumperettes. Well spent $650.

No issues with cracking, same shop did the front bumper for the previous owner 4-5 years ago. As long as they are using the correct materials (NOT BONDO!) you will be fine.

It looks nice, Jay. I may be in the minority here but I kinda like my rear bumperettes.

Looks good! I deleted my front bumperettes (and plate mounting holes) and simply match painted my rears. I go back and forth on getting rid of the rears. I too kinda like em and may keep em

Me too! After having the monsters on my old '84, these are nothing! Besides, I just know if I were to remove them, someone would back up into her ***, and scratch the bumper.

The rears didn't bother me once I painted them, but the fronts are on my list for this spring to have filled. Sort of feel the front painted looks worse than the OEM black. So, this spring I'll have the body and paint shop take care of the front and install my Turbo S ducts / fogs.

Those are my thoughts on the front as well. I have the delete kit that Limeyboy made and will get them finished for paint this summer and that will be cheaper than filling the bumper. Easily reversible. I thought someone else got them from Limeyboy to prototype and produce?!
