We paint the factory units. We buy them new from Porsche, then they are subjected to a tedious 11-day process in our facilities to get them where they need to be....absolutely flawless, smooth and factory matched, and still flexible.

Eric, how about offering a special and set up a group buy? What quantity limits would you need and how much for the painted bumperettes?

slaaw....it's not a 'volume production makes it easier for less money' situation. Those things are brutal and require a lot of man-hours and time in the downdraft and curing ovens. It just doesn't work for a group buy, especially with the core swaps and available inventory in the production pipeline at any one time.

Wish I could, but just can't make that work.

Email me though, I have a couple of questions, and may be able to help you out.

Default Can they be removed?

My RoW did not bring them. I like the "cleaner" look. Here:

But I think it wouldn't look great with Amercan tag.

Forgot about that. Actually, we use tags that are U.S. sized too. Will figure out how to mount it once I get it (hopefully next week!). The PO of my car had this custom made, but its just asking for trouble with the local police.

You could remove them, and you'll have two protruding chunks of steel coming out of each large hole in the bumper cover. Yes, it can be fixed/patched/sanded/painted, but you are talking about $500-$700 or more, and a respray.
