Thanks. I've got a track day coming up and these might be nice to keep tire boogers out of the grille. Hopefully they don't take too long to get to CA from the UK.

I purchased the complete set but only installed the outsides and center. Liked the look and ability to reach into inside. Took me longer to unwrap than it took to install. Received in three days, one day delay because I wasn't home to sign for Fedex. They are stainless steel and you can get them in Stainless or Black.

I have a set of these I installed and pulled off right away.. Up for grabs at half price. Full set for 18 GTS.
Just didn't like the look

Your thoughts?
Very easy to get radiators punctured if you track or drive very fast on closed mountain roads, so some protection makes sense. But zunesport grills look less perfect than rennline grills. I'd remove bumper and get rennline installed.

Have had the Zunsport's for coming on a year. Look is clean, fit excellent, it has openings, obviously, so it will let small debris pass but will keep the nasty stuff out.

Nevermind, I got it.

Edit: I wanted to add the lower grilles for my car did not fit as well as the middle and top grilles. For peace of mind I added cable ties to the lower grilles to make sure I don't lose them and then decided to add ties to all of them. I did like the build quality though.

Bought the Zunsports, installed in 30 minutes, love them. Keeps the big stuff out the small stuff flushes with my power washer.
If you have to remove them it’s not a problem and bumper does not have to come off.

We really shouldn't have to buy anything. I believe the absence of grills to be an oversight, cost cutting, or both on Porsche's part.

Do they truly believe our radiators won't suffer? Perhaps they are not concerned with our problem.

Busted radiators don't work Porsche.

I wasn't happy with the fitment. It's an easy install, but if I had to do it again, I'd go with Rennline which requires you to pull the bumper.

Happy with mine, the fit is good, not a good as rennnline for sure, but cheaper / free to install, and they can be removed to clean behind when stuff gets through ie. rubber / stones etc.

Fairly large stone.


Point of impact.
The A/C condenser coils actually reside in front of the radiators.

Before adding the Rennline grills, I took a rock to the passenger side condenser. My normal, everyday drive home from work on a nicely paved 2 lane highway. Never heard the impact. Just the hissing sound of the coolant escaping after I parked, after getting home.

I like the look and functionality of the rennline better. Was hesitant due to need to remove bumper but I did it this weekend as my radiators started to show signs of hits from the road.
I am not mechanically inclined by any means and removing bumper was scary to say the least but 6 hours later I am happy camper
