Default GTS 2.5 VS GTS 4.0 Front Bumper

Are the front bumpers on both GTS models exactly the same? They appear to be to me, but I am ordering grilles to protect the radiators and need to ensure the correct fitment. I prefer Zunsports again (used on my 911s), but they don't show a true GTS 2.5 fitment - only 4.0 fitment. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

The bumpers are the same for the 2.5 GTS and the 4.0 GTS.

Street Rod - I'll do Zunsports again - I've used them twice. They're easy to install and hold up really well against road debris and bugs.

Zunsport appears to be out of them - there is no way to order a quantity of either the black mesh or silver mesh product at the present time.

Buy the RGS ones.

1. Look great, easy to install, etc.
2. Excellent customer service
3. They took the time to give a definitive reply to OPs question and are a site sponsor.

I've had mine for a couple of years and am very happy.

Idamelio - thanks for the endorsement. I may end up with those if I don't make my own.

And thanks to RGS for the reply.

Try Zunnsport again in a few days to a week. When I went to buy a set for my 22 BGTS last fall, they were out. A few days later they had them again. My guess is they mfg more when they run out, so they may not have any right at a given moment, particularly if you’re shopping online during the weekend.

I purchased the RGS set. It's readily available and more price competitive. Thanks.

I just ordered a set yesterday (July 21) directly from Zunsport and I just got an email that they shipped this morning (July 22).

I also got 20% off using code PC092015

jfpell - they were out of the GTS grills for the 718, but it sounds like they had what you needed for your 981. Congrats - you'll enjoy them!

I have Zunnsport on my 2022 Boxster 25 and had it on my 2018 CGTS. They fit the same and are easy to install without having to drill or take off the bumper.

I had Zunsports on my '16 981 GTS, which were the only ones available back then, and they were fine, but never liked the 'tacked on' look. Just bought RGSs for the 2022 Macan GTS (no visible zipties), and they look fantastic. Exactly the OEM look I was hoping for (BEHIND the fascia), and they weren't any more difficult to install than Zunsports. And no need to remove anything either. And they're cheaper to boot, so I highly recommend them too. I'll buy them for my upcoming '24 Cayman as well. Even if one of the zipties is visible (once you get on your knees, that is), it wouldn't bother me. I was expecting that on the GTS, but there were holes for all locations, so no visible zipties. Hope the 718 is the same.
