Don't they have a hole underneath with a screw inside?

you know you will need a euro bumper cover if you want to go around without the bumperetts installed....

I did that hack on my Boxster back in 2000. To cover up the holes I just made a carbon fiber plate that covers that whole indent area. Simple and easy to do.

Or you can just run the euro spec bumper..thats what I eventually ended up doing.

You need a RoW R bumper cover--

It's not cost-effective to fill in the holes on the stock bumper. The aluminum bumper support need to be cut off, BTW.

They do need to be removed...but cutting it off isn't neccessary.

If you remove the bumper there are 2 rivets on each metal bracket. Simply drill those out and the metal bracket will come off.
