Does anyone know if there a way to install the Rennline center grill in the front (not behind) of the bumper?
You definately could do it, just wouldn’t look as neat. I thought about it due to my laser radar sensor interfering with the install from the back. I just didn’t like the look of the extra screen material and hold down screws. Guess you could trim it but for me the back just looked OEM.
I see screws are required. Does installation require screwing into any portions of the car that don't already have screw holes (i.e., creating holes in the car)? Thanks
Still holding out for three GT4-like screens for the 991.2 Carrera/4/S/4S/T with GT4 mesh and strake delete. Would make what is arguably the prettiest 991 front bumper of them all even better.

I'm with Pete.
God bless,

The Rennline grilles are designed to fit behind the bumper fascia. The are contoured to nestle in the radiator shrouds. If you want to fit grilles in front of the intake slats, you should look elsewhere. I've installed the Rennline grilles on my car and I can tell you it does require removing the bumper cover. The screws that hold the grille material to the shrouds are no big deal. Unlike grilles that sit in the bumper cutouts that would stop any debris righ there, the Rennline grilles catch the debris before it has a chance to hit the radiators. I thought this would be a problem but have found that leaves are easy to reach since they don't go all the way in to the face of the radiators like before. They are discreet enough to not affect aesthetics. They were a pain to install due to the bumper cover removal but I'm very happy with them now.
Just finished installing these. Here are the before and after pictures:

I would prefer if they mounted in front of the active shutters to give a more aggressive look like GT cars, but I think overall they look good. I filmed the whole process, but today I'm pretty tired so I'll try to edit the video and upload sometime next week.

C2S and I got them from Rennline. I'll make a video next week with the entire installation process, but in short I was a little disappointed with the product considering the price. I think any person with time and good experience working with aluminium can make similar screens for a fraction of the price. I went with Rennline because I wanted the best fit, but it took quite a bit of work (and bending) to install them. The instructions are also pretty lacking. You kinda have to figure things out on your own.
