Buy some carpet plugs (#881197) at Home Depot for $1, and paint them with touch-up paint. :cheers:

Any hardware store will sell vinyl hole plugs in a variety of sizes.

If the above options aren't exactly what you'd like, you can spend ~$36: Bumperplugs.com
Only giving an additional option. :) |

I used a Christmas tree plug that looked like the third from the left on the top row. I sanded it and spray painted it to match the body color.

You'll need the Genuine Porsche plug or your bumper will leak!

Have your dealer get you a couple 996 701 811 00 G2X.
They are only $7-9 and will fit properly. Will look great once you paint them, as "G2X" means "primer." FYI, bumperplugs does not use OE parts. |

This part # 996 701 811 00 G2X posted at Pelican does not look like the part I want. Their Diagram is somewhat confusing. Most likely it's the correct part. Bumper Cap 99670181100G2X - Genuine Porsche - 996-701-811-00-G2X | Pelican Parts Here is Renntechs forum showing a picture of a OEM painted plug. https://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/5830-bumper-plug-part-no-please/ If by chance the fasteners from Lowe's are not to my satisfaction, I'll see the Stealership for the plugs |

I bought the Porsche plugs from Pelican for a few bucks and had a small bottle of Polar Silver single stage touch up paint mixed up for $11 at the auto body supply store. Good enough.

I stopped by Lowe's yesterday and located the fastener section. A clerk was nearby and I described what I was looking for and I mentioned they were on the Lowe's website for $.80. He led me to the section where there were two sliding drawers marked Automotive fasteners. Both Metal, and plastic. When he open the drawer right off I saw what I was looking for. There were several types of plugs, some for Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, GM, etc. After looking through the supply I found these.
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1501940804.jpg I thought the gray would be best to work with than black. They fit perfectly in my Bumper. I will spray with adhesive promoter, prime and spray the Arctic Silver base coat and clear coat. So for a half gallon of diesel and a little time spent and the cost of 80 cents plus tax for the two, I think I am way ahead of the game. A final picture of the buttons installed will come later. |
Where do you purchase the arctic silver spray paint and clearcoat? What adhesive are you using?

I admire the DIY as I am a DIYer myself, and pretty frugal. But I hate painting. So I went with bumperplugs.com, Biarritz White, matched perfectly, arrived in a few days. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

I finished up my Bumper Plugs this weekend, and installed. A nice tight flush fit to the Bumper. Looks Factory! For some reason my two pictures under 150 kb will not upload. Will try later.....
