Are those the Rennline grills though ? The other brand (that snaps on, and I can’t remember their name) seem to have regular fitment issues. Some of them look awful , and some people have sent them back. Yours look excellent.
If they’re Rennline, how did you fix them in front of the vanes ?
Thank you! I could not remember the name either, but a search through my old emails produced, "ZunSport". In my case they fit perfectly and I'm very happy with them. YMMV.
I contacted ZunSport and they dont have a screen for cars with the active cowl flap.
So bkrantz, does your car have the active cowl flap?
Can you share more details about where you purchased the screen and the trim/edge piece?
Thank you

Any new discoveries on this topic?? After 650 mi in my new Carrera T, dumbfounded that there isn't a cookie cutter, easily available option for solving this issue. Even more surprised the option isn't a DIY option available at the Porsche parts counter...

Looks great! I need to install the Rennline grills I ordered along with ALP laser sensors/heads. I've been wondering how I was going to get around the issue of the movable flaps and you've just given me a great solution! Thank you!
It will just take Rennline, bkrantz, or whatever the overseas one is to listen to what customers are asking for—and I suspect there may be some challenges in terms of the slats as well as trimming the new screens.
However, if someone makes something that looks factory, I might buy two sets—one to install and one to keep as a backup in the event the grilles get damaged.
What if the grilles were placed in front of the slats/louvers and the slats/louvers stayed? Oops! See that's already been covered in earlier posts.
Still working on my home made grill screens, but I did mount them with "temporary" racer safety wire and have been driving around for a couple of months. I do like the look, and what I presume are reduced junk entering the intakes. I have to get motivated and remove the front bumper cover again and figure out a more elegant way to attach the screens.
i like this look. Someone productionalize! And sell...
