Just had mine done at the dealer. Bumper and lights out to get at one bolt. Took the tech 1.2 hrs + belt cost + tax = $ 315.00 Can
I believe if the license plate and plate holder are removed, there's an access hole negating the need for bumper removal. Dealer you say?

Those of you who have DYI'd this -- where did you get the new belt? Dealer? Suncoast? Other?

2009 C2S 117K miles

I buy "OEM' stuff from Pelican.... I used the Conti (Continental) brand the last change and will again in a few thousand miles (for my 120K miles maintenance).

I honestly don't know if it is the exact belt used by Porsche or was or whatever, but I am fine with it. It is just a belt, the Conti is German, Pelican notes they are an OEM supplier, stars are up, ground is down, and that is pretty much it.

My car has now gone almost the full 40K maintenance cycle on this Conti belt and there have been no explosions, sea levels are still rising at predicted rates, Trump still tweets, my back still hurts..............

BTW, if the first time I did this it took me some time.... I am careful and the belt seemed way too small causing a mild panic attack...... just keep at it.

Peace
