How to remove Porsche 911 bumper (997 DIY Tutorial)

Need to remove the bumper on your Porsche? I’ll show you how on my 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera S. While this procedure is for the 997, it should be very similar for the 996 and 991 as well.

where did you get the front bumper lip that we see in the very beginning of the video? is that stock or an aftermarket peice?

PavlosP says:

Do you find your headlights flush to the body right in front of the washer, or can you feel a gap with your finger?

ppeaster says:

Great video, very clear. Thanks for posting.

Roger Paltoo says:

Hi, do you still have that stock 997.2 front bumper? What lip was on the stock bumper?

Body Repair Master says:

amazing video keep up amazing content

Patrick says:

Hello. What kind of spoiler lip is this? and where can i buy it? Link?

MR. NINE 9 SEVEN says:

Nice vid Car Fanatic, but how did you re-install the bar you took off with coat hanger?

TOM RAST says:

YOU THINK ON CAYENNE TURBO WOULD BE THE SAME PROCEDURE ?
THANK YOU

Mark Flanders says:

great video, and tutorial. I eagerly look forward to when you do one for the rear bumper.

Ammar Malik says:

If you should feel an urge to spend more cash perhaps spend 20k on PCCB brakes while you only get back 1k when you eventually sell it.

D Wray's Garage says:

Glad I've seen this done. Sooner or later I need to deal with my damaged bumper and removing it to take somewhere would be required. Thanks CF!

Neil Asher says:

i have been thinking about putting the aero kit on my 997.2 S I would be interest to know how you find the driving experience post the aero kit specifically the high sped stability

K1dPhresh1 says:

The 997 totally deserves the aero front bumper. Makes it look a little more aggressive.

Encourage S says:

We miss the cayenne it’s been a long time since you release a video of it
