Thanks Tony,

What are the holding "blocks" that I'm supposed to have already?

All I have are 2 square holes on my front bumper... Do I have to take the bumper off and put something from inside?

There is a Porsche original kit for doing this. I have a brand new, still in the factory pakaging, kit. Let me know if you are interested. BTW, mine is for a 986; not sure if it will work on a 987.

That kit is really poorly designed. Be sure to use your own screws with more girth to spread the blocks and make them secure the frame to the bumper cover. Mine fell off when my knee brushed against it!

sorry. i misread your post. i thought "square holes" referred to the roughly square blocks that screw in to the holes. the plastic holder is then screwed into the blocks and the plate is screwed into the plastic holder - if i remember correctly.

If you don't want to drill holes you might want to look at this product. I recently bought an AerokitII front bumper and I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in it. I found this on a google search and ordered it. It looks good but I have not installed it yet. I just painted it black this weekend and will probably install it soon. I love the look without the front plate, but I don't want to give the police a reason to pull me over.
