so I'm starting down the path of customizing the look of my C4S.

Step one, toss the orange corner markers for smoke ones.

since no post is complete without pics...they are attached.

Now..second was to lose the huge, black front license plate holder and install some colour matched bumper plugs.

Ordered both from Eric @ bumperplugs. (Items arrived promptly...good products, good prices. I recommend.)

Take the front bumper plate off...to find not two factory holes, but four mangled ones

Two of them I managed to clean up and I could drill them to the right size for the bumperplugs....but what to do about the other two? While I like the bumperplug solution for two holes (it's not perfect, but very clean looking and cheap) I don't think it would look as nice with 4 of them....

I've been on the fence with replacing my front fender with a betterbodies TK version....mainly because I don't think a paint shop will ever be able to match the paint well enough...but now I'm thinking I don't have much choice other than having my current fender removed, repaired and completely resprayed.

This car is getting expensive.

suggestions?

that sucks... people suck !!

a co worker with a nice new truck just picked up some $10 cheap a$$ looking fog lights, drills his bumper and installed them.. all proud he shows me and I almost tip the hell over... they are not even close to being in line or evenly spaced... i mean NOT EVEN CLOSE..... wtf is with stupid people

What is a "betterbodies TK version"

I had 4 bumper plugs on our Cayenne for a while. It still looked better than a license plate or than 4 holes.

How big are the other holes? I had 4 holes in my bumper as well. I used a larger plug that was given to me from one of those paintless dent removers to fill in the factory holes. There were also 2 smaller screw holes caused by drilling directly into the bumper. Kinda ghetto but I used the little end caps on a basic Bic pen and painted them with color matched touch-up. Perfect fit. Don't really notice them until you're right up on the car.

Bic pen ends? hmmm, might look into that....

I would never get that bumper unless I put the full kit on. Which I don't think I would ever do either but just saying... The front would look way busier then the rest of the car.

Not a fan of the betterbodies TK version. The side air vents always make me think that a family of bowling ***** lives there.

I had the same problem with the bumper on the TReg. I ended up just getting 2 sets of bumperplugs.

While not perfect, it looks better than the alternative. Only other option is having them filled, sanded, and cover refinished.
