Default Zunsport Grilles and Adaptive Cruise

Hi all, has anybody added these to a car w adaptive cruise? On the website there's no option w adapt cruise

Also: on a rhodium silver car, would you do silver or black?

TIA

I was wondering of they are compatible with the adaptive cruise as well. Not many cars have it so I would expect you would have to modify one on your own to make it work.

Peter knows about this and I was able to purchase just the four pieces not including the center one. You could create a hole in the center piece for the radar and you'd want to re-dip the grid in vinyl after you do that. The radar is not going to work through the screen since it is metal and the openings are near the wavelength of the signal.

I opted to just leave the center piece out of the kit since I didn't think a hole in the grid would look good. I think it would look better with a solid sheet of radar transparent material instead of a grid.

Do you have any pics of your setup?

Its kinda crazy Porsche left the front vents wide open like this. I have to get in there to pick out all that debris.

Can't really speak to the adaptive cruise (my guess is it would block it because it is made of metal) but I got black for my Rhodium Silver 991.1 GTS. It works well with all the other black trim in the car and looks like an OEM part.

Right in the middle of the middle grill area. Looks like a big glass eyeball.

Think HAL 9000.
I have 15K miles on my 991.2 on and off the Track.
Not a single problem without grill covers on the radiators.
But ACC is a problem with impacts on Track so I had a block designed and fabricated that I install for Track.
No idea how to protect the sensor on the road.
It's a vulnerability, sensor costs $3K and alignment $1800.
So if someone comes up with a workable sloution, I'd like to know.
Note: ACC will detect a block sensor and tell you "ACC Not Available".
Must be designed to sense mud or snow blockage.-Richard

Could you post a picture of the piece you install for the track use.
