Hi Everyone!
Today I get to a project that Heidi has been waiting on for a while ;) Her 996 Turbo is badly in need of a new front air dam/splitter and front right wheel well liner. Not very difficult at all and makes a huge difference in the look of the front end! I hope you enjoy the video :)

Snappadoodle!
Your attention to detail is outstanding, great work as always, I would have made a proper horlicks of that.
I replaced my front splitter with a genuine Porsche part and had the same fitment issue. It seemed a little short. Maybe that is how it stays in with only 2 screws. Anyway, my solution was the same. Start in the middle and warm up the edges and then work it into place. Mostly posting this for folks that think they might avoid that struggle with a Porsche part.
Thanks for all the help over the years!
Thanks so much for that. Great to know!
YES - a 996 Turbo video!!! :D
Now that is a great piece of fettling and with plastic not metal. Well done Franny
Came here for the very thing discussed at 8:50. Was confused if ordering the whole piece included the two smaller pieces, and now I know. Thanks!!
Snapadoole added to quick like a bunny. So much fun to watch.
Nice job with the heat gun! The end result looks fantastic!👍
The timing of me watching this was spot on. My 2003 4S has the same spoiler/lip on the front, and I just got mine in the mail a couple of days ago. Since I live in the Desert around Palm Springs, I was waiting for it to cool off a wee bit more before I tackled this project. But now that I.ve seen it done as well as your genius hack I am going to put mine out on the driveway for a couple of hours and use Natures 110 degree heat gun first.
Thanks Franny
Great, Franny! Without all kinds of small tools, life can be pretty 😩 (heat gun for rubber/plastics is a life saver).
That heat gun hack is shear genius. I’ll be using it for sure.
Another great tutorial. I ran over a loose log coming off the freeway and have to replace the splitter and two liners. Thanks for the attention to detail. Would have loved to have seen a before and after shot in the video at the end.
I'm thinking I need a 996 so I can follow along! ;-)
@Harry Hellerman .. +1. A good ole 996tt is the reference book required; Kind of .... An informative How-To !
I love watching you solve problems. I wish I had a fraction of your skill and patience. Great work!
+1. Way-To-Go Franny & Heidi ... Supportive DIY's. Cheers, Vail, CO
Hey Franny, nice video, great job, sure it looks a million $'s better than what was there...👍👍
Looking forward to more 356 videos. Hope you and Heidi and well and staying safe. Always enjoy your videos.
Velmi dobré a názorné video,paní Heidi máté šíkovné ruce a vše detailně vysvětlíte,naprosto vynikající!Moc mně to pomhlo a děkuji Vám,že názorně ukážete jak se to dělá.Budu se těšit na další videa.Přeji dobré zdraví bez coronaviru!!! Jarda Kučera Czech Republik
Good work, heat guns, fab.
Great job Franny
Always enjoy your work; very clean, careful and correct. I learn so much from your great videos.
Great video again. Loved snapodoodle. Can’t wait to see you work on Miss Eva.
Nicely done, great problem solving and love your attention to detail
More 996 videos please! I just had to sell my 996 Turbo and am going through withdrawal!
That is a shame! I hope you get another one.
I enjoyed your vlog thanks for that.
Nice work. I wonder if - before you expose the splitter to the cold - you should heat-gun the whole thing on the chance you can relieve the high residual tensile stresses from assembly. Could be the right time to do this job is in Summer!
I wonder if it being out in the hot sun will reset it a tad. Probably good is is a tad small - better than a tad to big.
Great job, Franny. That lip was a little bit harder than I expected, probably because it's not an original Porsche part. The heat gun was a great tip. Tight fit, but that's best I reckon :)
Thanks so much! Probably best it is a tad short. It was about 65F in the garage and I'm wondering what it will do in the hot summer sun. If you are fitting this in the summer I bet leaving it out in the sun would do the trick :) I hope all is well :)
Yes, the sun would probably work great too :) Things are well over here :)
Well done Heidi! Looks like nothing ever happened. Nice job. Looking forward to the next video's. Cheers and happy holidays ; D
Thanks so much! You too :)
Great job ladies 👍🏻
Awesome :) thank you!
I can't believe the shocks came back leaking, I have seen another youtube channel where they send off old Lambo Diablo suspension to be rebuilt andi t comes back multiple times. It's insane how much they charge for these parts for old cars and then can't even do the job correctly. It's mind blowing honestly.
Yep. I agree.
Nice job! I was recently gifted a 1999 Boxster (986) and I've been doing lots of cleaning, paint correction, and some basic maintenance items. My next project is replacing front rotors and pads, along with SS brake lines all the way around. I live in Phoenix and fortunately the car has spent the vast majority of its life in Phoenix, so there is zero rust, as well as low mileage (27,500). Considering its age, it's in very good shape. While cleaning out the radiator "cubbies" I noticed that some of the plastic bits on the lower bumper and the driver wheel well are either broken and/or scuffed up badly. I thought I'd just replace them but my jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the prices. I mean are you kidding? These things are not rocket science. They're standard PP plastic just like every other car on the road, but because they're for a Porsche, the cost is 3 times as much. Welcome to the Club, as they say.
It depends. Sometimes OEM parts are worth it, sometimes not. We had not heard the OEM for the radiators were not good, so we opted for an racing after market brand. However, the suspension parts were worth oem. It just depends. Do your research on the forums if in doubt.
While you're in there it's helpful to replace that top radiator hose, if it's not already new. Its aluminium end fitting usually corrodes around now and starts to develop a leak. Pricey, though, at about a hundred dollars.
Thanks for that!
Nice tutorial! Any worries that when the heat dissipates, it’ll shrink and exert tension which might over time produce stress cracks in the underlying structure?
Hey guys. More good content. Can you link the clever jack/jack stands you use on the 4 post lift ? Thanks !
Great video, love it👍
'Air Darn' Ms. PottyMouth! *evil grin*
What are the part #’s for the additional rubber parts you mention @ 9:07? Im replacing those + my busted front lip. Thank you Franny!
Franny despite instructions to the contrary it did seem to go on like the factory part. I do wonder if you would have had the same installation issues with the OEM part? Regardless, the front end looks great now. Cheers.
Hey Heidi, do you have a guide on the plastic trim below the sideskirt?
Sorry we don't... Have you checked out the shop manual? Also, I bet it is the same as a 4S.
My heart!
If only Franny taught comsci…when i was in college…
Do you guys need a roomate? I'm really good at moving cars around and even borrowing them for canyon rips.
Heat gun FTW for sure. I'd have broken something trying to pry it into place. Do you find that a lot of non-Porsche parts require a little more work like having to drill holes, stretching this into place, etc.?
Yes, totally... I almost always buy the actual Porsche part but I'm this case the aftermarket is easy cheaper and this is such a sacrificial part. But, it was a little bit of a pain but actually not that bad. But anything important 💯 go with three Porsche part :)
Great video, but you never showed us a shot of the front of the car with the new lip installed. I would have liked to see what it looks like.
I didn't? Well, that's not very good! I'll have to add it to the next video. Thanks for the suggestion!
Almost makes me think this part was made for another type and they though "nahhh it's close enough for the 996, let's sell it as a 996 part as well".
Your taking a big risk with the ceramics not using the 2 guide pins to install/remove the wheels.
They should be in the frunk.
Only takes a bounce of the wheel onto the rotor and your 4k down!
Hmm, we have three of them and I am not sure why she did not use them. I will ask her. Heidi
Can you list what that combination jack and jack stand is?
You bet! It is a Powerbuilt All in one lift jack - amzn.to/31uoFGV
That was the first time I got to use it. It is a bit high for our cars, but worked great in the jack tray of the lift.
That’s why I always buy OEM. And they aren’t that expensive.
the OEM splitter is really pricey unfortunately :( Since this one will probably get chewed up I'd rather spend a lot less.
Carbon fiber lasts longer on that lip. Unless you drive fast over speed bumps and hit curbs.
It was broken before we bought the car.
Can you please share the part you used? Thanks!
Oh, gosh... It has been a while since we bought it but I think it came from Amazon. Just do a search for "996 turbo front lip spoiler". Looks like they are about $90. You can also find them on eBay. The Porsche part is about $350 ;)
@@HeidiandFranny Ok thank you! Shamefully, I ruined mine on a parking spot end block.
this looks like a shopping mall parking or pharmacy parking with the block at front of the space We Want the Full Story Lady s ?? ;0) All the Best OR bad angle sidewalk entry
We told you the story. Had it been me, I would have 'fessed up' about it. I did not do the initial damage. We bought the car in 2014 as a ten year old car. It was owned by a salesman who put a LOT of mileage on it. However, there have also been several times when the car has bottomed out by going over speed bumps or weird driveways that did not improve the issue of the broken spoiler. It was broken when we got it, but it did not improve with driving the last seven years. If you want to see damage done to a car, I did damage our MINI Cooper's door and Franny has a paint video on it. Yep, we are far from perfect. Heidi
@@HeidiandFranny Oh Franny/ Heidi if I got a 1$ every time I eared that One I would have a garage like yours Lolll
