Has anyone deleted their bumperettes (US) bumpers. I know that there is an aluminum behind the bumperettes that are connect to the support/crash beam. It's being held by tack weld or rivets. It can be removed. The bumper hole will have to be blocked of and painted. Just curious...pictures will be great guys!

I see that you have the 996.2 rear bumper. How did you block it off?
