Default Butts Exposed!
If you missed my tutorial on rear bumper removal, here's a rear butt exposed comparison shot. Porsche has made taking these things apart really easy. 12 screws.

One of these days we will tacklet the front end. I can't imagine it being too much more complex than the rear. As always, we'll document it and include it herein.

Dan,
Thanks, I'll look forward to it. Reason I ask, there's some protective grills for the aero-kit (GT3) intakes from FVD and they say I need to remove the front bumper cover to install them. Sorry for being a little OT. If I get there first, I'll post up my findings.
