Is it possible to remove the front bumper on our cars without lifting or jacking the car up?

I am considering ordering a set of Rennline grill protectors, but I do not want to buy jacks or a lift just for this one-time job.

Has anyone successfully removed their bumper without lifting the car?

I plan on using this guide. (My car has the standard bumper, and the process should be similar to the bumper removal on the turbo),

PS. I just installed Zunnsport. I like the heavier gauge wire and also the install was about 10 minutes, no removing the bumper (which I didn't think you needed with Rennline either (IIRC).

Here is a pic of mine, I have done these on my 991 and 992's I have had. This is the first 992 sports design bumper I have had, so different than my standard 992 front on my last targa. I am super happy with these and again, super simple install.

Thanks for the picture and description about the gauge of the Zunsport grills. I have the standard bumper, but I know Zunsport makes a product for this bumper style. I might end up going with Zunsport for the simplicity, and they do create a different appealing of look in the front.

Yes. The front bumper can be removed without a lift on the 996, 997 and 991. There are many YT videos to review including one by PCA. However, I do not recall watching a video of a 992 front bumper. Two suggestions while you are there anyway: 1. Clean the area between the sandwiched AC condensers and the engine radiators and 2. run a manual front latch pull via cable/wire to a front inner fender if one does not already exist. I use Zunsport which work great for me but the Rennline product looks good also…..…just more labor involved.

Keep us posted. I’ve been procrastinting on this for a year hoping an easier solution would come.
