its jt's from eip racing

there phone # is 408 998 1693

i dont know how the hell you could DIY this yourself because it requires fiberglass work and repainting and the entire bumper.

i can tell you how to do it if your confident in fiberglass work. then you could take it to a body shop and have them paint it for you.

heres a pick of mine jt and i did before paint. i had never done body work before and it wasnt to hard but, painting is a whole nother subject

most body shops wont do it (not all but allot), plastic to fiberglass. high risk of cracking. but thats "by the books" they wouldnt be able to warrantie it.

the next option is is to cut it down the center and use a blow torch to melt it down then sand it smooth. (i would not want a torch near my plastic bumper IMO)

i would like someone to make a piece of carbon fiber that would cover the area. we could cut out the "diamond" ourselves and cover the hole with a piece of pre formed carbon fiber.
