Has any one have any experience w/ this site? Dealer drilled holes in my bumper for the front plate trying to cover up the holes now. The key holes covers seems pretty cool too. Can any one tell me which color octane blue would be closest too. If u go to that site click order it will show all the colors they have. Sent them an email still waiting for a reply back. Maybe someone on here has the answer already since they been through this.

They're very popular with the Porsche crowd and have a stellar reputation on Rennlist and 6speedonline. I wouldn't hesitate to use their products.

you could maybe get a solid black one and color it using touch up paint.

Yea, they have quite a following but they're not cheap. They were brought up in a spoiler delete thread. If I recall, you need 6 to plug up holes left by the spoiler, so that's $75. Ouch!

I think the license plate only uses 2 though, so that helps.

I bought a pair for my 350Z...ended up not using them because the holes were too big for the plugs to "grab" on. What I've done in the past is go and purchase a sheet of vinyl that comes close to your color...cut out small circles to cover up the holes...and you're done.

Not the most elegant solution...but much more cost effective and easy to replace.

I bought a set for my S2000 last year. They're very expensive for what they are, but other than that I have no complaints. They arrived promptly, were packaged well, and the paint was a perfect match and of high quality.

I had their keyhole plugs on my S2000 and now on my Evo IX. I also bought sets as presents for my dad (GTO), my fiancee (WRX), and my friend (Evo VIII).

Alright just talked to him again he said to just use the wr blue pearl even though its a subie color should match up pretty close which kind of makes sense but he was real cool about it if it doesnt match up i can just send it back ill let u guys know how it works out. by the way they dont make door plugs in that color.

I used them for my SLK and SRT. They matched up the paint nicely. Great company.
