Outer Grill install
 
Hi there! Is anyone excited to give me some emotional support while I tackle the removal of the front bumper to install an outer grill mesh? I’m new to this, and it would be nice to have someone who wants to spend some time watching me as I mess it up, heheh.
Free beers and great company offered… LA-based!
P.S. I have all the parts/tools, I believe :o

It's not too bad, just make sure to have a helper when putting the bumper back on. Good Luck!

Buy the Zunsport versions and you don't need to remove the bumper, they install from the outside..

Yep, ended up buying the zunsport mash and before install I vacuumed as many debris behind the grill as I could get … it wasn’t too dirty but, would like to get behind the radiators one day to see what’s in there …
Next project …

That's good to know. I contemplated installing the screens on my 986. However, my experience replacing the rear bumper (technically, the bumper cover) after a neighbor backed into it and dented the corner, was no picnic, so I wasn't looking forward to removing and replacing the front bumper. Replacing the rear bumper undoubtedly would have been easier if I'd had a helper, as Beelzy recommended.

The rear bumper removal is a pain to remove. Removing the front bumper is a breeze. I've removed mine, by myself, in under 10 minutes. Crazy easy. :cheers:
