My incoming TT has them too...I guess the options are a new bumper skin (GT2, hmmm), remove/fill/paint or learn to love them. Funny the 993 bumperettes are so much nicer.

To my knowledge its not really all that easy to switch to the gt2 bumper skin, though I could be wrong...

First 500 '01 Turbos to the US had warts. DOT BS, that's all. They are mounted with slots and tabs, not worth the trouble to fix, just replace with euro/aftermarket bumper cover, respray, done.

What DOT boneheads. Anyway, just the facts, ma'am.

Those suck bad when painted. I was watching an old Top Gear test of the 996 turbo and saw something that looked weird in the front but just charged it off as a figment of my imagination or bad video. LOL

I just saw a set of warts this morning on a Polar Silver? car heading north on Old Cutler Road in Coral Gables, FL.

If you're reading this, quite a rare car you've got there.
