Instead of using a drill bit, we would heat up a sharpe rod to poke hole in ABS plastic . No ripping or tearing and also leaves a thick ring of material around the edge for the hardware.

A piece of advice when dealing with after market side skirts and double sided tape... Make sure to heat and form the skirts to fit on body so the tape doesn't have to fight the skirt pulling away from the body. Heat the skirt and bend it slightly further than where it sits flat. Also, 3M makes an adhesion promoter. Make sure you use that and the widest, not thickest tape to have the most hold as possible. I had a 2005 Chevy Colorado with a xenon body kit on it. It had to be taken off 5 times of the course of 16 years due to the double sided tape slowly coming off from the elements.

Great project! The 996TT is a near future classic for sure. One tip about the sideskirts (got a -02 996TT) I would stronglu suggest buying the original lower side skirts from the dealer, it´s the same as the GT2 use and they are cheap, 200USD or something. That will complete the original GT2 look. Just a tip! Looking forward for the next video on this project!! Keep it up!

How much prep did the body shop have to do to the bumper to get it looking nice? I've been seeing used OEM bumpers for well under $1000, you can buy a brand new one from Sunset for $850. NR Auto sells this bumper for $2000 shipped, so did they give you a huge hook up on price? Did you get the OEM radiator ducts and what did you do to them to get them to line up with the bumper properly?
