Was sick when I looked at the radiators and saw that rocks have banged the hell out of them. Cannot believe that Porsche didn't cover front facia with mesh to protect the fins. WTF.

Impressive, 4 bags fit (nobody can afford more than that at Whole Foods anyways).



Separately, warm day today, wearing a t-shirt and my back was sweating after car was in the sun for only a few minutes. Clearly, this is a drawback of alcantara seats.

Indeed. As much as I love alcantara I'm a sweaty guy so still happy with my decision to get the ventilated seats in conjunction with the alcantara interior. I have used them every day since probably April.

Agreed! Rennline grills work great though.

Hahaha, nice. I do the weekly grocery run and am able to fit up to six bags in the frunk. Heavy bags on the bottom, eggs and bread on top. It's surprisingly deep.

How difficult is it to remove the front bumper to install the grilles?

Good to know, thanks. So it will take me three hours because when it comes to handyman stuff I'm a complete idiot. Porsche would probably charge for two hours labor, might be worth it for me.

Careful bud, you might be better off paying than screwing things up

There are YouTube vids on how to take off front bumper and well as other posted procedures. Does not seem that hard. For those without the patience of inclination, time to open up the wallets (at hefty margins).
