Guys the dealer removed my bumperetts without much of a hassle, doesn't even look that they ever came on the car. Any good body shop can do it..

I was talking about the rear bumprettes and what the dealer does is add fiberglass over the holes. He gets alot of wrecked Porsche bumpers so he cuts a suitable piece off of that and blends it with the bumper. I know it sounds horrible but it looks so good that ppl would assume that the car came with out the bumperettes..

Went to a local tuner and he had just replaced a bumper that he removed the bumperettes on and it look as if it came without them.. It looked perfect.... So it is doable.

Oh. Cool. How much did it cost to make the alterations to the bumper?

Gary is right, it's very doable and as for the cost? I think it cost me around $1000 for this job and painting the front spoiler, sides and rear bumper to match along with the cost of the X54 tips. They really did a quality job of it as well..
