You could replace the bumper with a Euro bumper. A person in NY has changed his SLS bumper for a Euro bumper.

car is already down with clear wrap and ceramic so probably not going to go through as paint match and re do for the light....I am hoping some after market option will appear just for the covers...

I ordered ones painted to match car (Agate Gray) from bumperplugs.com I have not had a chance to install them yet as they could not provide any installation instructions for the new sport turismo turbo and they don't appear to just "pop" out. Anyway they seem to be well done and hopefully will look nice once installed.

Anyone tried these?

I would be wary of any company advertising clear markers for body styles 2014-2020 as there was a body style change in 2017. You may end up with the wrong product.

If you don’t mind painted markers, you could always go with the set from bumper plugs. I did that when I first purchased my car and I have enjoyed the Euro look bumper ever since.

I’m torn on what to do when I get my chalk Panamera with black accents (black wheels, door handles, and window trim). Should I get chalk or black painted side markers from bumper plugs? Or get the original sidemarkers tinted (could get the tint covers from Lamin-X)? Any thoughts?

I guess it all depends on your configuration. If you have more black on your car than less (e.g. black handles, black mirror covers, black wheels, and/or darker window tint), tinting or blacking out the marker might be for you. On the other hand, a body colored marker also presents a fuller bumper with less colors breaking up the lines.

I’ve seen pictures with either the body colored and tinted markers and both look good.

You’ve eloquently described my dilemma! I’ll have all the black accents except the side mirrors (black wheels, window trim, model designation, door handles) and I’ll be getting a dark tint on the windows. So I think black or tinted side markers make sense. I just don’t know if it might be “too much” (part of the reason I didn’t get the side mirrors in black) or if the “full” bumper look with the chalk painted markers gives it a better look. I also think both look good but which looks better? I know it’s subjective, but what would you did if you were me?

Definitely not black plugs. That will highlight something which has no function. I think you need to pick between "hide the most" or "keep the function." For me, tinted - after all, they are there for a reason. Plus, you have less $$ into the decision if you change it. Post a pic when you get it!

Here’s a link to an older thread that shows the orange markers both painted and tinted on a chalk/white Panameras. Have fun making your decision as modifying your car is almost as fun as optioning it.

FYI- Lamin-X is 30% off this weekend; I ordered Charcoal and Gunsmoke so I can try both, $15 each including shipping .

SS22

Thank you! I think I gotta get it to be either black or chalk, nothing in between. A slight tint on the Orange almost makes it look brown which would be odd for my color combo.

That’s a great deal. Is Gunsmoke the darkest and closest to all black? I’m thinking one may not be enough to fully black out the Orange but if I put two over each other, it might do the trick.

They have pictures; charcoal is darkest IIRC.

Thanks, I hadn’t noticed until right now that the pictures change when you pick the different shades. Charcoal it is!
