I swaped my 2000 front + rear bumpers for the updated 2003 look. I was having the shop paint my bumperettes as well - but was surprised when I came to pick up the car they said they didn't even put the bumperettes back on. I was a little nervous... But, turns out they got the euro bumper from the Porsche dealership, and it didnt have any of the holes in it for the bumperettes ... I went to look at the car a little worried - but wow, I was in love! The car looks amazing without the bumperettes all together. Sure, I have to do a little more worrying without the extra protection, etc. but... It looks amazing!
I'll post pics just as soon as I get my new GAHH top ;-)
