.....I can't place an order with Sunset Imports for 8 rivets,that's not soo cool. I need something spiffy to add to the order,any recommendations?

You could get those rivets from the dealer parts dept. They usually keep them in stock, and you wouldn't need to then pay shipping.

I refuse to go to Niello Porsche to buy anything. They treat me like crud due to my age. The only time I ever go is late at night to look so that way I don't have to deal with any idiots.

Yes, you're right.

Blink, put the base in first, then slide the cap right into it. They're made so that you can't put them in as an assembly. The stem on the cap expands the base so that they can't pull out. Try it again dude, you're almost there.

Congrats! Im glad you did it the right way and didnt let your bumper be crooked. Did you take the wheels off? I will be doing all this when I swap to my GT3 bumper BTW does anyone have experience with how much it costs to ship a bumper. (sorry for the thread jack, BTW)

Just shipped one FedEx Home Delivery for $86.00. UPS is a lot more expensive.

Thanks griz.
