djlomas-
given the time/effort you put into this project (looks like it was a fair amount of effort!) - would you recommend this project as a DIY or you think it might be a better idea to just spend $250 and buy these from teh bumperplug guy?
I don't mind the effort - but I wonder if it's really really really a PITA - then spending the money might not be such a bad idea.
my car is a lot darker than yours. it's ocean blue...and while it's not black - it's dark enough that you only really notice the bumperettes in direct bright sunlight. in indirect light, you honestly don't notice them that much.
i'd like to see a picture of what it woudl look like - an ocean blue 986 with painted bumperettes... i'll have to surf around for one.
my car is de-logo'd on the rear - so there no emblems or badges on teh rear. the former owner took off the "boxster" letters. I've though about putting on "986" on the back.. part of me likes the clean debadged look...but at the same time, it sort of looks empty back there.
with black bumperettes - if i stuck on some black letters - along with my black license plate frame - it sort of gives the rear a "tied in" look - or so I think it would.
i might order the letters - see how it looks - and then if i decide it would look cleaner to paint the bumperettes - i can do that last.
the letters are only $30.
still not sure if i want to do the painting myself..or if i jsut want to pay to get them done....
