In this video, I walk through the complete front bumper cover removal process on a 2001 Porsche 986 Boxster S, followed by installation of the Rennline Front Radiator Grille Screen Kit. This upgrade helps protect your front radiators from debris while maintaining proper airflow and a factory‑clean appearance.

This DIY is applicable to 986 Boxster and Boxster S models with similar front bumper construction. The procedure shown follows factory‑correct removal steps and highlights common problem areas to watch out for on higher‑mileage cars.
