I for one am glad I had the bumperettes when someone hit me from behind. The bumperettes saved my bumper from damage.

Yes rear bumperette removal plate but I made my own. I bought a piece of black ABS plastic and made a template out of cardboard. Took it to a place that cuts glass and had them cut it for me.

Gotta admit - looks pretty sexy with the bumperettes gone, although do worry about damage to the bumper. Those bumperettes do serve a good purpose.

Mike - ever thought of colour matching instead of leaving it black?

Na I like the black. I agree the bumperettes are added protection but like the rear without them.

I personally like the painted ones better and it's easy to do
