Default 2022 GT4 Air Duct Trim Replacement

Anyone out there had to replace this piece of trim (marked in yellow #12) ? It's the air duct trim piece, Porsche OEM part number 982807882AOK1. If so, can you share the "how to" ? Thanks kindly in advance.

I bet the bumper needs to come off since it appears it attaches from behind it.

Interesting that no fasteners (square boxes) are shown in the graphic tho…
I’m betting that it pops on much like the side intake air vents on the back quarters.
Good luck trying to get it off, not for the timid.

have you obtained the replacement part itself? - you should be able to tell by inspecting the new part how it is attached to the car and thus how it might be removed

if there are *any* screws or other fasteners then it probably requires bumper removal, if its just "locking tabs" then a simple trim tool and some courage will remove it!

look like #11 installs from behind - less clear about the "eyebrow" ...

The part is ordered and on it's way to me. This is a picture from a different website, and if it's accurate, it appears to have only the pesky "locking tabs". I guess I'll have to wait and see when it arrives.

I would guess removing the front undertray would give you access to that part and its stupid tabs
