Here is another company making stainless side intake grills: https://www.zunsport.com/us/porsche-us?product_id=4720&filter=210%2C158

Just under $100 it looks like. Haven't seen one in person.

Interesting. Wonder how easy they would be to fit from the outside and if there is any interference due to the scoop.

I went over to the manufacturer's site and couldn't find a set for the GT4.

To get a feel for how the grills looked on the car I attached one with two metal tab tie wraps to the horizontal bar in the intake and rotated the tabs to the rear behind the bar. I was surprised at how well it stayed in place. Wouldn't want to use the tie wraps for a permanent solution.

They must not restrict airflow enough to make a difference. Here's a photo I took at VIR of last year's Clubsport series race:

it doesn't restrict air flow enough to cause issues.
and truthfully, most just dont drive fast enough to really worry about it, me included.

My understanding is the regular Cayman side grills would work, as the GT4 just sticks on an external scoop extension.

Grills still available for some lucky GT 4 owner that doesn't want trash collecting unseen in their intakes. With all the GT4's being tracked this should be a "no brainer" mod.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in these but I thought I would give them one more push. They are still wrapped and ready to go to a new home
