Default 'Bumper Plug' bumperettes

Can anyone here vouch for the quality of these? Paint match good? I have a small scrape on one that to fix correctly would require a repaint (the rest of the bumper is perfect) and the cost thereof plus the risk of matching might make these a better option. Appreciate any info............ TIA

Not the bumperettes specifically but Eric at Bumperplugs is extremely quality oriented. He stripped and painted all the interior parts in my last 911 C2 and did an absolutely flawless job (I had all the soft touch plastic pieces stripped and painted in the exterior color). Amazing work, great customer service.

They're great and usually match. But if your car is older and the paint is faded, there might be some variation. IMO, that's not a Bumperplugs issue though, just father time...

So as a f/up - Got it, installed it, and it looks great. Very good paint match (basalt black). Also, great customer service and a good helpful group of guys there! Would definitely use them again.

I've used Eric's parts on both cars and my VW Touareg. Goods stuff. Sometimes pricey (I about fainted at the cost of plugs for the GT3 wing) but color is always spot on.
