Default Rennline Radiator Grill

Here is why Porsche should be putting grills on TTS radiators.
Rennline finally has one!
Last picuture is the garbage that came out of grills

Wow, if one is paying top dollar for super-car; I would hope that the manufacturer puts grill mesh in front of the radiator for debris.

One learns something new everyday.

Thanks for this thread

I lost two radiators because of gravel flying from the tires of another turbo ahead of me as we were at very high speed... Lesson learned.

I replaced the radiators and installed Rennline mesh on mine. I even have ACC, and the mesh fit perfectly.

I highly recommend it.

PS The mesh doesn't change the look of the car, like the GT3's. It's recessed, so the stock look is maintained. Nobody noticed today that the mesh is installed. So you keep the turbo look but with the protection.

I was charged 1.5 man-hour for it at the dealer. I didn't do it myself.

If you've never taken the bumper off yourself, give yourself 3 hours, at a minimum. If you're patient and gentle, it's pretty easy. While the bumper is off, it's a good time to wrap it (since we're talking about protecting the car) ;-)

Just had it put on. Decided to go with "Silver" because I thought it'd look better with white, also, the black aero fins are now visible.
