DIY rear bumper removal: I searched but cannot find it

I remember seeing a recent rear bumper removal with pictures that was very detailed. I am changing out my exhaust this weekend on my 996TT Cab and was looking for but cannot seem to find that write up.

Can someone help me locate this thread?

Thanks for the help in advance,
Bryan

I did a DIY on RennTech: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...tion-pictures/

The first part of the DIY is how to remove the bumper. I hope this helps...

Removing the bumper is so easy on this car.. it doesn't even seem right. I'm not trying to make fun either.. its crazy how it just comes right off so simply.

I just finished a turbo upgrade.. taking that bumper off makes everything easier.. Good luck w/ the exhaust.

Thanks for all the help. I have rebuilt a 3.3 turbo engine before but prefer to do some basic research first so I am comfortable and it takes less time. This helped out a lot.

Thanks again,
Bryan
