Pull vertically as close as you can to the clips. The rest is pretty easy until you get to the needles... They are made of feathers from baby angels, treat them with care.

I found it easy to remove but difficult to replace.

Got car back from detailer. Ceramic, new ppf, and Rennlight restored headlights on! Several aesthetic painted parts waiting to be coated and then installed. Nice to have her back after a 7 week wait!

Fun little project for my 911S, i did the GTS/Sport design bumper conversion in my garage. For any who haven’t done it it’s really not hard and doesn’t really require coding i wound up just take off the little motors and fixing to the back side of the center plastic. Well worth it and satisfying mod haha

@keebin thats what I’d love to do to mine! Where’d you find the bumper and associated brackets, eBay? Or did you get everything new from Suncoast or similar?

Pardon my ignorance, but what little motors are you referring to?

Ugh... Was not liking how the Moshammer ram air intake covers were fitting, so bit the bullet and got the RS intakes instead.

You know the old saying...buy it once, buy it right.

On the standard bumper/S they have these grill slats that are active and open and close depending on speed and drive selection. When converting to sport design/GTS bumper it’s advised to take it in for coding to code out the motors that power the slats. It’s normally an hour of labor they charge but you can just simply leave them plugged in and just fix them to the back side of the bumper.

I would pick up the Suncoast sport design package comes with everything you need. I sourced all the parts separately and i wish i did not lol. You save so much more just going with the sun coast package.

Can you post pictures before and after?

How bad was the fitment of the Moshammer set?

Well, disclaimer here... Moshammer does say to have them fit by a professional shop but I can't bare leaving my car anywhere. So I test fit them before paint and they seemed to fit OK. They actually fit over the top of the oem's.

I had them painted body color and went to install them. Used the putty they provided and I was not happy at all. Lots of gaps in fitment, definitely not flush. It may not have bothered some, but I wasn't liking it.

However...they could potentially fit better if someone wanted to have them sanded down in the problem areas. But, I just decided to cut my losses and order the outrageously over priced RS ones.

If anyone is interested in purchasing my old Moshammer ones, PM me. Currently painted metallic jet black. Open to offers.
