I agree if you want an outside mount, there is no way a DIY job will look as good.

I think I got pretty close. (And I am still making excuses about not improving on my temporary safety-wire attachment.)

WOW - I ordered my Zunsports from Amazon on Saturday and the ETA was mid May. They got here this morning from the UK! Looking forward to installing them this evening.

These folks not only quick but highly reliable. When I put mine on a year ago, I must have done one incorrectly. It fell off and was lost. They replaced the missing part in 24-h for free and once I installed it correctly it has remained in place

Even if you're all thumbs, you should be able to complete the install in ~20 minutes for the two outside grilles.

I only did the Zunsport outers, and they were extremely easy. You place the grills where they need to go, then use a flat-head screwdriver (or similar tool) to bend the metal clips around the mount-points on the bumper. I think the center one is a tiny bit more involved, but not sure because I didn't do the 3 centers grills.

Looks nice. Do you have a DIY written up? I like Zunsport but they don't make one without parking sensor.

9 piece 991.1 GTS kit installed in 20 minutes, and I think it looks great. Very impressed with Zunsport!

I dont, but this is the one that I use for my install.

OK ... I went with Zunsport just on the two large outside openings. I liked that I can still reach in and vacuum and clean out debris. The outer Zunsport mesh provides good direct protection for the vulnerable radiators. The Zunsport mesh looks like what Porsche should have provided ... but Porsche would have provided a little better fit.

I had just reduced the verbose “PORSCHE 911 Carrara GTS” to just “PORSCHE GTS” on the rear of my coupe and had an extra "GTS" emblem available. So I added the "GTS" emblem to the passenger side Zunsport grill. I think it's a nice personalizing touch! Check out the photo!

Nice. Didn't you like the center mesh? I have seen cars with just the outers and center (I have all 5 on my GTS) since I hate the way the center looks with the plain flat plastic.

Bob Z,
I liked the look of your full Zunsport grills (also your very nice Miami Blue color selection) but I was concerned the center grill would be hard to clean ... especial bugs in that grill! I agree the center flat black area needs something. I considered putting the GTS emblem there but it looks super on the outside passenger grill.

Have you found cleaning the 5 Zunsport grills an issue?

I understand your thought but I have not had any bug problems. You can brush them off easily and rinse them off every so often but most bugs don't even show in the Black screens.
