Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just installed painted bumperettes from Bumper Plugs. They do a nice job and make a great addition. Also removed the Boxster S. Neat look.

POST 2Original post

Might get some myself. Was just at their site and they look good althogh expensive. Did you consider painting them yourself?

POST 3Original post

Any other company pain these things? Or sell pre-painted replacements?

POST 4Original post

It's a simple thing to paint them. Sand them smooth (machine or by hand), prime and paint. You can add a flex additive to the paint, but really not necessary. I have a pair or OEM bumperettes for sale in the classifieds, perfect for the job while keeping your originals should you ever consider returning to stock. Cheers!

POST 5Original post

I'm lucky my car is black...they match already!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Did not consider painting them myself although I agree they were expensive. I do not know wether it is just marketing but Bumper Plugs claims they perform a lot of steps to the bumperettes.

POST 7Original post

Decisions, decisions. Went to paintscratch.com. About a hundred bucks for all the supplies they say you need to paint these. Soooooo, for another $150, I can get the professionally painted ones from bumperplug. I like the idea of saving a few bucks and DIY, but with my luck, I'd spend the $100, screw it all up, and end up having to buy the prepainted ones anyway. Something to think about. For now, I need to save up for tires. More decisions......Sumitomo or Falken??????

POST 8Original post

I bought the paintscratch kit and did itmyself. Mine look good, but if I had to do it over agian I'd but them from bumperplugs. To so it youself the right way it not hard but is time consuming. I had my center console professionally done and it looks better. If you want the satisfaction do it yourself, but bang for the buck , and knowing time is precious/money... I'd buy them if I has it to do over

POST 9Original post

having a friend paint my speedster humps and bumperettes this week, for a lot less than $250...
