Turbo S - Center Grill or Not??
New to this Turbo forum.
Just got a 14 Turbo S and absolutely love it.
However, I have noticed that the center front radiator is exposed and seems to accumulate grass and leaves.
What is the consensus on this - Add some kind of mesh grill or leave bare??
Found this but is overseas -

I'm not planning to put anything over mine, but I don't track my car at all. If I spent any time on the track, then I would put some kind of protective grille there.

I too am considering the ZunSport grills.
Previously I was looking at the Rennline Grills. But, the install involved removing the front bumper. However the ZunSport looks to be an easy install without bumper removal.
Would love for others to chime in that have used either company. Also, pictures would be nice.

I'm definitely putting grills on when I get mine. A rock in a radiator makes for a very long flatbed ride and is not covered by warranty. Also, grills look badass.

Hmmm... now you've got me thinking about it.

I agree.....I'm going to grill mine soon after it arrives. I grilled my 996TT with screens I made from welded square grid stock...probably from McMCarr. That effort included front bumper removal for maintenance.....we cleaned an unbelievable amount of debris out of the radiators.
I like the "no bumper removal" option offered by Zun but in correspondence with them in the last 24 hours, they advised they don't yet have product for 991.2 TS. So I'll look the car over when I get it, to see what approach makes the most sense. I'd think ANYTHING is better than nothing, in which case we each can decide based on aesthetics and integrity.

We like your choice on the Zunsport grilles (well, we would, wouldn't we!). Hope you remembered to use the Rennlist/Zunsport Promo code when you ordered. Let us know about your grilles when you have fitted them and if you have any queries please let us know.

I think you will be happy with your order.
I put the Zunsport grills on my 2015. Workmanship is excellent. Fit on the outer is a little tight - and that is a good thing. I hook and looped (tm Velcro) the outer grills in place rather than use the small screws provided. Only regret is I put 2 - 5000 miles trips on the interstate picking up some rock dings prior to them becoming available. They look factory.
