looks great!

What was the process and how much did it run you?

www.bumperplugs.com is one of the very best Porsche vendors I have purchased from in my entire 6 years of Porsche ownership. Eric is a great asset to the Porsche community. Excellent quality and customer service.

The process is pretty simple. Just check his web site. Order in the color you want. Pay a refundable core exchange, when you put the painted ones on, you send him yours for the core exchange. I think the cost is about $250.

A great and simple mod. Makes the car look "fresh" and updated.

They look fantastic! Eric did mine about 6 years ago and they still look like new.

I agree with Flavor 987S; Bumperplugs does great work and offers great customer service. Eric is a true Porschephile.

A few of the 986Forum "old timers" (Randall, Derb, Sammy, NickCats, Yellowbox and about 12 others) will also remember that Eric at Bumperplugs graciously donated some very nice door prizes for our very first Tail Of The Dragon run in the Spring of 2007.

It was simple, I live here in town and stopped by on a Friday afternoon, I initially just wanted to look at a steering wheel I knew he had from a post I just happened to find from 6 months ago. Once I saw his work I ended up walking out with a bundle (Steering Wheel, Bumper Plugs, Door Plug, and ordered Painted Bumperettes). Eric sent me an email and offered to package em up and and send the short distance, I was like forget that I'll swing by on the way to work and save the shipping. I installed them in 3 minutes in the parking lot...of course I was just excited to get them.

One of my favorites is the driver door key lock plug, really nice look. The funny thing is I had painted my own center console and it looks great, so I figured I would do my own bumperettes, I saw his center consoles compare to mine and was like heck with this I'm going to let him do the bumperettes! The paint on my car is in great shape and I've managed with proper buffing to bring back to almost new, these bumperettes match perfectly.

I will say he had lots of goodies at his office, I could spend a lot of money in there...custom colored and chrome Boxster S drunk label replacements!!
