See the diagram... It's two screws by the wheels wells (one on each side) then it just clips in by tabs.

I've replaced my lip with a flat back GT3 lip and it took about 15 minutes.

Regards,

There is 1 screw on each end of the lip inside the wheel well. After removing those screw you can just gingerly pull the lip away from the bumper. It has tabs that slide into the bumper. Very easy, you'll figure it out....

Finally installed my lip, I did removed one screw at each end and by using a feeler gauge to push the tab down, removing was easy. Thank you very much

I purchased my lip, had it repainted along with my front bumper. Just found out that my lower lip was scratched on the front by who knows what. What a bummer, but at least I had the original one repaired and repainted.

This is why I warn owners to remove the original lip and store it. Then put a GT3 lip on in it's place as it will get trashed anyway.

Looks like prices went up!!

Need some help...
slightly off topic but the shop is having problems fitting the two side ducts or vents onto the gt3 bumper. I told him that everything from my oem 997 bumper should swap over, was I giving him false information?
He was able to get the center black plastic piece into place. I guess this part would be left off had I installed a 3rd radiator. He says he is having problems getting the two side vents or ducts to fit on the new gt3 bumper. Are these parts to be left off, or will I need a gt3 part?

thanks in advance....

Redduck:

I just sent you an email with the PDF file for installing/retrofit of an Aerokit onto a 997.

Have them refer to that TSB I sent you.

You're quite welcome! I hope you got the PDF file on how to install a Aerokit on the 997 as it's just about the same.
