Bumperettes Removal Horror!!

Can my front bumper be saved? I removed the bumperettes today and below are what I found to my horror! They drilled holes and cut pieces out of the front bumper to fit the bumperettes! Can these holes and gaps be filled and repaint? .:biggrin::biggrin:

A used front bumper would probably be cheaper (and look better) than repairing that. You can find them for a few hundred bucks.

You mean someone "upgraded to bumperettes"?
This is a good opportunity to go with a GT2 front end or like heavy said just get used bumper skin. If the car is Arctic you may even find one that matches.

Good call Ari! A friend is upgrading his front to GT2 and it is also Artic Silver. So, I will buy it from him if he is selling. Anyone want to buy the grill inserts?
