Tempted to get these as 1) radiator protection seems like a good idea and 2) they look good 3) alternatives require bumper removal. My only question to any forum members who have purchased - how visible are the zip ties in real life?

Also interested in trying these out as I really want the protection from rocks on canyon and rubber on track. Also I feel like they look bare without screens. Buuut I’m really particular on fit and finish and just feel like the zip ties would drive me nuts if they are visible at all. Any feedback from users yet??

I would ad that after snugging up the ty wraps, do not use snips to cut off the excess ty......there is a special tool to snug these up and then twist the tool 1/2 turn and it cuts the end off flush.
Most electricians I know use linemans pliers to grasp the loose end and then twist a couple turns until the end comes off. This will leave a nice clean end.

I just installed the front screens. Some people may still complain about the costs but these aren't just chicken wire mesh. They are nicely coated and even the edges are dipped with plastic so they aren't sharp. Installed in about 10 minutes. Sometimes the best solution is the easiest solution. You can barely see the cable ties or the screens themselves.

Are the radiator screens( including center) available for the 718 Cayman GTS?

Another satisfied customer, front lateral grilles for a 2018 CS. Well made, good transaction, easy installation, etc. Unless you're a concours judge on your hands and knees with your nose in the grille, you don't see the zip ties. Mine came out like rasetu's three posts above but I'm too lazy to take and post a picture.

Never posted back up my review on these...
install was very easy. I did put one in upside down and have to flip...so careful of that. Drivers side seemed like zip tie was through too many holes and started to bend the screen when tightened too much (see image). So be careful or adjust your ties first. Also needed some tweaking to fully hide all edges but I’m pretty particular to details. Again.... very simple and I’m just sharing details for others.
Zip ties are very hard to spot. Look is excellent and radiators are now protected! Great product for the price. Happy customer.
