I have seen the walkthrough here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...p-by-step.html
But the parts I just received don't look the same. They have tabs on all sides, and no holes for pins.
Is it possible they can be removed and the new ones snapped in without removing the bumper? I would really love to avoid a dealer visit if I can.

Derek,
The link you provided about the bumperette removal is for a 997.1. I seriously doubt that you can swap the bumperettes without removing the bumper cover.

You need to remove the bumper to remove the old Bumperette but you can install a new one with the bumper installed. The rear bumper comes off in 10 min, just go for it.

Just to follow up...dealer was able to do the swap without removing the bumper, and it looks perfect.
I'm super happy with the paint match from bumperplugs.com! A++ would buy again (but hope I don't have to!)
