Okay, hear's what I've heard: This is for a non-turbo front end. I'm not sure with the Turbo /S2's.

First; remove the bumber (two bigger bolts on the bottom of it). Then; look for the attaching bolts under the area where the bumber used to be.

Next; check the fender lip, above the side marker lights. There are at least 2 bolts, possibly 3, along the fender lips on both sides. I think they take a 10mm socket. Make sure all the lighting is out (fog lamps, side markers, etc.).

Finally, look 'behind' the fender liners and check to see if there are any attaching points between the fender liner and the valance (front-lower piece). I can think of one in the lower corners where the valance meets the fender liner (I bust these a lot on cones at DE's).

Also, don' forget the engine bottom cover (that wide black plastic pan with the vent holes) attaches to the bottom of the valance in front, and the engine cross-member in the rear. You have to take the engine cover, under the engine, off.

You might also go to the Pelican Parts website, and see if there is a diagram or exploded image of the front valance and bumper assembly.

That would be my approach. Good luck!

Here's the address for the valance/spoiler assembly:

SLOW DOWN....

What are you trying to do? Posting your exact probem will get you a quicker reply.

Like, I am trying to replace my air filter element on my 87 944S, How do I get the front panel off?

Is this what you are trying to do?

Dear,
My944S

I will send you a PDF file with all the answers you need to know.
Pictures and everything!
To much to type.
About 1 MB

In return for this favor all I ask is you let all of know if you have an actual name or does your birth certificate read My944S?

I like to know who I am talking to.

Hi Steve,
My 86 911 has some rattles in the sunroof.
I thought I remember seeing an old WW back issue where you had some tips on getting the rattle out of the 911 sunroof?
If so any chance you could send me a file of that old article?
Thanks,
Mike

Good memory Mike, That was back in 2000. Most of my articles are archived on

http://www.dietersmotorsports.com/tech_articles.html

That one is having some issues with the pictures. I will send you the article w/ pictures and fix that page as well in the next few days.

WOW, there was alot of good info there... I was going to spend the money on an aftermarket throttle cam... Now I see I can mod my stock one to do the same thing!!!
PS: I just installed an Autothority chip today and that seems to work nicely!!!

Thanks,
You can tell what model cars I owned at what time over tha last 6 years. 944,951, 911SC, 914, early 911....

Just not as much time as I once had. Maybe I'll do the article thing again after my 911SC is done.
