The only reason id suggest to not do the sidemarkers would be it would look better to get the sidemarkers removed and fill in the space with fiberglass/bondo to shave it. Yes, it would be more expensive, but if you might get a new bumper and it will already be at the body shop... might as well see how much itd cost.

I would go with smoke side markers, not sure about the 3rd brake light. And yes everyone already nows it is a porsche, but don't strip it of it's porsche emblem. I would go with a silver emblem. Against all the black it will really stand out, but removing it may be unique or just look weird, no harm in trying it.

would there be problems if the sidemarkers are shaved when it comes to putting the front bumper back on?

with out a doubt... I went to the bodyshop this morning and that is exactly what he said.. He said it's more work to do that then probably buy a new bumper with the sidemarkers deleted
