Can you send me a plug for the other side?
Got the returns back yesterday. Thanks for doing that and sorry again about the mix-up.

On the bright side, I now have 2 sets left if anybody wants/needs them.

There is only one set left and it may be spoken for. If you have contacted me about a set in the past and not gotten around to paying, please PM me as that ship has probably sailed.

Potentially, I may get another batch created later in the year.

Thanks everybody. Can't wait to see the finished results.

Sorry, these are all gone. I'm going to talk to my fabricator about a small batch on Monday to mop up the latecomers. If you want a set, speak now or forever hold your peace Be prepared to pay in advance and make sure you've read the first post at the head of this thread as to what to expect. If you are on the fence, stay on the fence. I'm just looking for actual numbers.

Just put the deletes on, tried a couple weeks ago when I first got them but they wouldn't go on. Finally had time to sand them down to get them to fit, they are far from prefect right now but I plan on taking them to my local body shop to get them finished.

The first thing that needs to happen is to start taking off the tabs. Some people managed to fit them with two of the tabs intact. I myself had to remove both side tabs and just left the top tab.

Finally got mine painted and installed. Here's the first opportunity I had to take a pic of them.

Thanks again for making these, gmorat!!

That looks awesome!

I'm currently making a small batch for late-comers to the thread. I imagine that this will mop up the stragglers and then I will be done. Glad to help. Happy that people are happy and those awful bumperettes have been vanquished.

A note on my installation experience: As was expected, the bumperette delete plugs needed to be sanded to fit, skim coated with a teaspoon of bondo, sanded again, primed, and painted before they could be installed on the car.

It was a simple affair, I did most of my sanding after work while casually sitting on the back porch & enjoying the sunset. On a difficulty/hassle scale of 1-10, I'd rate this upgrade a 2 (simply because of the sanding & painting process).

I used the eBay euro lenses recommended by gmorat, sourced the RS LED brake ducts from Carnewal, and the paints from Touchup Direct. Everything pretty much fell into place.
