987 Side Vents / BumperPlugs.com

Ordered side vents for 987 from bumperPlugs.com and the paint match looks like it came from the factory. Order also included clear front side lights and keyhole plug.

Eric from BP is great to deal with, all parts received not damaged and the color match is perfect.

Glad I was able to get original info on this product from reading through this forum.

Will post pictures later today...

Fairly easy install!

I agree with your comments on the service and quality of Eric's work. I happen to live in the city where Bumperplugs is located, so I just go over and pick up my purchased items. It's amazing to see all the various parts and colors. They all look great.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

I got the keyhole plug from them but was disappointed to find that it didn't cover up the 987 keyhole very well. It doesn't have a large enough radius. Also, the 987 keyhole isn't recessed so you end up with this bump of colored plastic sitting ratehr high off the surface of the handle.

Looked silly so I left it off.

Pics on the way / side vents

Pictures are on the way having to wait for the rain to go away.
Used RejeX and it looks sharp in the garage will see in the sun for overall results.

Rejex ROCKS! Great for wheels. And looks really awesome on Guards Red.

Looks great. I did the same to my midnight blue and think it looks much better than the stock silver.
