I don't know if its the camera angle not helping or those headrests are way too small but they look like they're made for these guys
Eye of the beholder apparently. The are larger than the Euro sport headrests people pay good money for. They still do the job intended and safer due to better visibility. I sit quite tall and only had to move the driver's up one notch. I think you're just accustomed to the OEM sails. These fit me perfectly.I don't know if its the camera angle not helping or those headrests are way too small but they look like they're made for these guys.

Added the Golf R vertical fins to my GSW. Fitting this was tricky as you had to place it gently first, push up and down on the top part and adhere. I haven't added any sealant, probably wont bother.

Have had mine on for 2 years now, haven't needed any sealant.
Buy nylon plugs at Home Depot or Lowe's:
https://www.lowes.com/pl/Hole-plugs-Specialty-hardware-Hardware/4294711044
If you have to buy them a little bigger than current holes, so be it; you'll then have to drill the bumper to clean up the mess the dealership made and to ensure the new plugs fit well.
Paint the new nylon plugs with touch-up paint to match your car, then paint the plugs with clear.
Costs a FRACTION of what the Bumper Plugs cost.

Let's see it.
Here's my solution. Custom lathed plugs. Good, not great. Paint doesn't seem to want to stick and comes off at edges.

That's all there is? Just crappy vinyl decals that will peel off?

I have hit my front emblem badgeskin with the pressure washer many times over the years. It hasn't budged.

i tried badgeskins license plate stickers on my white one and they really didn't match. colormatched plugs, though they stick out some, just looked better to me.

Do you want an underlay or something that goes over the emblem?
