Two questions though:
1. when you take off those bumperettes, is there just a metal 'tube' there?
2. is it possible to 'cut' those tubes (assuming a qualified metal shop does it) and just not have the bumperettes at all? Ofcourse you would need to 'patch' the rear bumpers, but it should be quite easy to do since its a flat surface.
Anyone done this before?
I have a white car and those black things are definately an eye sore.

Hi,
I removed mine myself, the bumperettes are held on by metal brackets riveted into the rear bumper. Just drill out the rivits and your done. I had a brand new bumper put on that didnt have the cut outs so it worked out perfectly.
