We have not. Pat L was going to set us up with these guys: http://www.capitalcitymotorsports.com/
Is Pat no longer a GT3 owner? I was thinking of calling them myself since he hasn't responded.

Did those guys have problems with their radiators too? I thought previous gen did have a cover?

As I understand it 997.1 GT3 + RS were lacking the inside covers and maybe also 4.0RS too. I know of a few radiators on stock 911s that have also found a stone on the track...

When the stone went through my radiator in February, PCA wouldn't repair it under warranty, however after further discussion, agreed to cover the cost "in this instance as an act of goodwill" I suggested they find a longer term fix as this goodwill will need to be extended if in fact it happened again.

I for one would be willing to commit to a purchase if the price is anywhere close to reasonable. We had a pretty positive response the first time around so that's something that could be communicated to the guys at Capital City even if Pat L still isn't involved.

I'd take a set for sure, unless Porsche takes it upon themselves to fix it (I'm a relentless optimist!)

I took out the radiator, I'm going to get it fixed tomorrow by a radiator repair shop.

It's got so many deep rock dings after only 1500 miles. I'm putting a set of screens on when I put it back together.

Guys, even if you do not track the Gt3 the exposed radiator from the back is still an issue??

If so, I am in for a pair. It would be great if they can not only make a cover but also a short you-tube vid on how to install it.

Yes. Big issue. Almost a joke how they overlooked this one.

I'm getting screen from grainger and riveting it on there. I'll take pictures.

My radiators are just peppered beyond belief

Porsche should really be sorting this out for us all, but since that is unlikely, I’m in for a set of screens.

Agree - lets get this expedited. I am assuming 50 pairs of these would be an easy sale. I can not believe it would cost more than a couple hundred dollars, at most.

Hey - do the 991 C2 or C2s have a screen?? I forgot to check my C2s Loaner this morning. If so, would they fit because then we can have Sharkwerks/Suncoast order them.
