@@AutoAmateur I've got a favor to ask - I am looking for some garage wall bicycle mounts and would like to look into the same ones you have - can you say the brand and/or where you found yours? Thanks.
You can custom make the grille yourself and clamp on the plastic trim with automotive glue. Check out many uTube videos on this subject. All the new GT3, GT2 all have grille mesh from factory.
Looks great James!! And saving 1800 bucks doesn't hurt as much as your eye and lip. LOL C'mon now, Ruthie gave you the shiner for spending too much time and money in the garage. You're among friends. Fess up. LOL You've made me eat my words. I've researched the aero kit for my 997.1 and it's almost half the cost of your 991 new aero kit. So going used was the way to go. You're almost as thrifty as a Scot!! ;-) With the used 911 market going through the roof, sell it and get a 991.2 Targa (4)S in something other than grey, white, or black. How's the baby? Cheers for the vids!
I had a stone puncture a condenser rad a short while ago, very expensive repair once you cost Porsche part,labour and re gas. Wish I’d put after market mesh grids on sooner! New bumper looks good as factory fresh BTW.
Great video James. Installing a ducktail or techart wing would be nice to see or maybe a Porsche X51 powerkit. Although I am not sure if that is only possible on a S.
Nice work! I added Rennline screens and the third radiator intake panel with the same screen to make the front different and still aggressive. I plan on dremmeling out the middle piece so that I can make it more like a GT3 next. Have you done a tune or high flow cats???
Hey James, super helpful video! I am also planning to add the aerokit/sport design bumper to my 991.1. Were you successful in being able to retrofit the front park assist feature since your car didn't originally come with it? Did you just need the 4 sensors and a new wiring harness or were there any other tricks to retrofitting it? I only have the rear sensors but would like to add front sensors when I install my new aerokit bumper. Any gotchas?
Hang on to it and save for a GT3! Remember, you can get a GT3 with Carbon Bucket Seats and since you hate them you can sell them for a pretty penny to help with that car payment! 😂
Dig this mod James, just doing one on my 991.1 4S. The dealer claims there is an additional supplementary kit i should buy (given by the manufacturer). Did you need anything more that the grills and lower lip?
Did you buy the front bumper on its own or did you buy the entire aero kit? If you bought it on your own can you tell me where cause I really like the bumper design but don’t what the wing and other things in the kit.
Hey! Yes, I just bought the bumper on its own. You can buy it new from Suncoast Parts. I actually found this one used, from a wreck, from LA Dismantler.
Prices are currently high so dont see now as the time to change cars. Are car meets and stuff beginning to happen over there...always nice to see other owners and motors
James, I would love to see you acquire a 991.2 and chip that sucker to 500HP. I,ve seen a few videos where people have done this and I think that would be a hoot with all that power and torque.
hi - terrific vids - i have a 991.1 S that I ordered from the factory with the sport design front spoiler. Is the lower lip plug and play - to replace it? Or does it require removing the front spoiler? Thanks!
Nice one James. Thinking if you can get hold of it second hand on the cheap, maybe consider replacing the standard engine cover grill for the black GTS grill that came on the 991.1 GTS. Part number is 99151233111OK1. The existing LED strip is transferrable, there's a few good installation guides on the forums and even then it looks like a simple job. Only problem is looks like you cannot get it anywhere for under $1,500. It looks the nuts though giving it a classic 993/964 look while still modern bringing it up to 991.2 style. Plus you hardly see any cars with it so you'd definitely turn Porsche fans heads. I haven't really made any big mods on my 991.1 (mine's agate grey too... sorry Nick Murray) but I'd definitely go for this one.
In the reassembly, you glossed over the GTS/AeroKit condenser air flow shrouds. While there are no photos, should we assume that you did have to replace the two condenser shrouds? How much $$$? Also aren't the two small intakes on either side of the center bumper panel supposed to be connected to brake cooling ductwork. Did you replace that also? Also in the removal video, you said you were sealing up the PDC sensor hole but in this bumper replacement video you show replacing sensors into the bumper. Did you perform a RETROFIT of PDC sensors on the car? Future project? Thanks. I really appreciate the work that you go through to produce these videos. It's a big help to us fellow DIY'rs
Hey there! Ah, sorry. If I didn't mention the condenser shrouds in the video, I did include the part numbers and prices for everything in the description below the video. I did have to replace them, the stock shrouds won't work with the aerokit. But everything fits together perfectly now the way it should.

Did Nick Murray take a swing at you?
😢 He’s such a bully. 😋🤣
You have all dreamed of doing the same!
I love the look James, it's so much better looking.
Thank you Jose!!
Every time i watch one of these vids I just wanna jump in mines and drive with no destination Dope vid as always!
Hahahah. Thanks mate!! I get the same reaction to watching Porsche TH-cam content. Ha!

Job well Done! That radiator cleaning is super important !
Cheers Trond!
Awesome vid. That bumper makes a big difference! I say it’s time to grab yourself a 991.2 so I can follow along with some of your mods!
I think I prefer the stock bumper, but taste is personal! I’d like to see you do the duck though.
Looks GREAT! Nicely done for sure.....makes me think of doing mine!
Cheers Steve!!
Nicely done.
Looks amazing! Definitely an improvement.
Thanks!
Looks really good James 👍👍
Cheers Michael!!
I like the new bumper. Glad you used a .1 indeed of changing to a .2. I think you should keep the .1, I love the sound of the NA motor.
Thanks Jeffry!!
Nice job James👍👍👍
Cheers Mark!!
My suggestion: keep this 991.1 and do a power brake bleed next. This video is really well done - the photography and editing are brilliant.
Thanks so much Louis!! Appreciate it!

Should have added grille mesh to stop debris from hitting the radiator while the bumper was off the car.
Good suggestion! Unfortunately the mesh I bought didn’t fit very well.

Well done. Bore scope the intake valves for carbon buildup
Good suggestion, thanks!

Dig this mod James, just doing one on my 991.1 4S. The dealer claims there is an additional supplementary kit i should buy (given by the manufacturer). Did you need anything more that the grills and lower lip?
Just the air duct covers, the lower lip. That’s it!
Did you buy the front bumper on its own or did you buy the entire aero kit? If you bought it on your own can you tell me where cause I really like the bumper design but don’t what the wing and other things in the kit.
Hey! Yes, I just bought the bumper on its own. You can buy it new from Suncoast Parts. I actually found this one used, from a wreck, from LA Dismantler.
How about the PDK shift boot conversion? Relatively cheap and adds a nice personal touch to the interior.
Looks great! I have a similar project going on. Could you post a list of all the accessory parts/hardware that you had to purchase....thanks!
You bet! Check out the description below the video for all the part numbers.

That would a lot of fun!! 🤩
@@AutoAmateur yes it would! However given where you live I think I’d be going 4S rather than rear drive in that scenario.
It is indeed a lot of fun!
hi - terrific vids - i have a 991.1 S that I ordered from the factory with the sport design front spoiler. Is the lower lip plug and play - to replace it? Or does it require removing the front spoiler? Thanks!
It’s plug and play once you remove a couple of fasteners from under the lip. It’s super easy to do. Congratulations!
Nice upgrade James, Please don't screw a license plate into the bumper and yes, I like the ducktail idea.
Haha. FOR SURE!!! Never never ever never ever. Never.
"My 3 year old throws a mean punch" :-D
Hahaha. It’s true!! He’s a rugby player in the making.
@@AutoAmateur good man! 🏉🏉
Did you remove the two little wings just behind your front wheels?
Yes, they came off with the stock bumper (I think!!! Now I want to go and check.... haha)
@@AutoAmateur not attached to the front bumper, I believe that it’s no the under panel just in front of the wheels

That settles it, I’m doing it! How did you acquire the new bumper cover?
Call or email Crystal at LA Dismantler. sales@ladismantler.com or +1 818-767-7243. Or go to Suncoastparts.com if you want to buy a brand new one.
Nice job
Thanks Nicola!!
Hey James hope all is good in your life. Do you know if a S front bumper will fit a 4S?
Hey Mark! Yes, it will fit.
Ducktail , lower and spacers
what front bumper is that , is it from a 2017???
It's the 991.1 factory sports / aerokit front bumper. Available from 2013 - 2017.
How about lowering springs?
My enormous ass does all the lowering the car needs every time I get into it.
Great work, go for a GT3 touring look.
Good plan!! Cheers.
What brand of lift do you have there?
It’s from Toolots.com. I believe it’s a Cavalier brand.

Did you need new air ducts?
No bumpers were stabbed in making of this video
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep the bugs and gunk out. Add radiator grilles!
That's the plan! Unfortunately the ones I bought online didn't fit very look and looked terrible. I'm trying to source some others.
Nice video. What lift do you have?
This ones is a mid-rise scissor lift from Toolots.com. I recently replaced it with a full rise 2-post lift.
Which bumper is that gts?
It's the factory aerokit front bumper, which is what the GTS comes with from the factory.
Do u think is possible to replace the front lip to the rubber lip like the 911 turbo?
I don't think so, not with this bumper.
Time for a GT3 🤪 🙃🦘🇦🇺
🤣🙌
If you got that lip because of a bumper then maybe dont order a ducktail.....
It has to be duck tail
Hahahah. That's definitely one thing I'm thinking about...
Looks fantastic
Cheers Ian!!!
