Thanks for the kind words. There are so many beautiful cars pictured here. I'll install the Zunsport Grills this morning. Windows next then sound... Looks like a Blue day ahead.

Wow! SBM alone is stunning. SBM with red interior (aka "superman") is, well, off the charts awesome (can't think of a descriptor that is better than stunning).
I'd like to see more pics if you powder coat the wheels.
Thank you all for the comments. Grills installed. Left the center alone for now. I couldn't bring myself to screw or drill even the smallest of holes into the new car. At a complete loss regarding the front plate which is required in CA. Never installed on my '06 but did get a couple of "fix it" tickets. You don't have to fix, they just want the cash. The after market plate holders either interfere with parking sensors or don't look good either. Any advice??
I have a powder coat guy drooling to do the wheels. Going to drive it for a while but currently have possible themes, all leaving the barrels black:
1. Exterior of the wheels in Silver.
2. Exterior of the wheels in Silver with the sides of the spokes Sapphire Blue.
3. Exterior of the wheels in Silver with the face of the spokes Sapphire Blue.
4. Leave wheels Black with just the face of the spokes in Sapphire Blue with a Red Stripe around the outer circumference of the wheel (a la GT3 option).
It's not that I don't like the black wheels. We just have too many Hollywood "gangster" types here in LA that sport flat black wrapped cars and black wheels. Don't want to be associated with that....
And now for the Grills...

(That's my first 911, a Black '90 C2 pictured on the back wall.)
Zunsports Installed:
Have to give Zunsport two thumbs up for product quality and customer service. Install was very easy but I did have to adjust several of the retainer tabs. Not sure if that was intended or caused by the shipper but adjustment was easy enough. Have to think more about the center piece....

Honestly, I've always said go ahead and drill the front bumper.
If you're going to put a front plate on the car, it doesn't really matter how it's held on, it's still going to be a plate over that part of the car. That it's actually screwed on doesn't change that.
Alternate front plate holders only make sense if you intend to take them off someplace. How often are you going to do that?
The most interesting alternate I've read about is using paired rare earth magnets. Some inside the bumpers, some on the plate holder. Neodymium magnets can be pretty strong, and enough of them and you've got some pretty fierce holding power. The main drawback is that it means taking the bumper off to mount to inside magnets, and that's a significant task.

Did you remove the sensors that were on the outboard side of the intakes?
EDIT: Oh, hard to see and now I see them...
