LOL i would NEVER. Im only kidding.

I will probably end up buying those stupid parking sensors that will serve no purpose but to fill my bumpers holes and be useless.

Are the holes circular? They don't seem round but that may be due to the angle.

Yes. The 4 holes on the rear bumper are circles. VERY expensive circles.

I checked with my bodyshop and they are nowhere near your price. So filling the holes is out of the question if i want to go there. (which is next door to my work, making them extremely convenient, but most of the time pricey). Let me know if you end up going the sensor route.

Its seems like i should be able to buy some plastic clips that hold fender liner in, then paint them, then bondo them from the inside of the bumper right?!

I didn't think about that! Ill call on that tomorrow.

Is this an aero rear or an IPL rear? I would think IPL has to come with tech. But I can imagine a basic aero package would be avail without tech.

This is Aero rear, IPL only come in IPL colors. You should be able to order the bumpers with or without holes since the are accessory add ons. I already put a message into him.

Got it! I sure hope this solves the issue. If that's the case I'm ordering mine tomorrow so I can hopefully get it next week.

What about just using a black plastic plug You can get them from Lowes or Fastenal. They look like this:

I used these when I removed the rear wiper on my Z. They fit perfect and I put some silicone on the back side to keep the water out.

I called the dealer this morning, and they said they show the Aero rear only available in 1 option, which is with the sensors :\

Maybe PCasey can tell us what the diameter of the holes are on the rear of his bumper when it comes in, then we may have a solution to what size plastic plugs would be needed to potentially fill these holes.
