Has anyone here ever tried to modify there bumpers by removing the rubber pads and patching the holes? I think it'd look pretty cool. If anyone's done it i'd like to see some pics before I do it to mine

Amazing!

I've long since pulled the bumperette pads on my 924, although I have yet to patch up the holes and paint the bumpers...

i took the small rubber ones off my euro bumper and filled up the holes, gave it a nice clean look. as for the american style bumpers, might look a bit bare.

If you sink the rear bumper can you still put a rear valance on and still have it look good? I think the rear valance with the vents in it looks cool.

I have done both and they look nice. Used fiberglass mat and bondo on the outside for a clean look. Look closely at my avatar and you will see a US bumper with the Euro rubbers.
