Rennline 991.2 Carrera Grill Screens Now Available!!
The wait is finally over! We just had our first batch of 991.2 Carrera grill screens roll off of the production line! This means we now have screens available for every variation of the 991.2 including those with Active Grill Shutter Controls. And you can order them here!https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...0f64400097.png |
Any chance you'll be doing a version that replaces the active grill shutters? The thing I like least about my 991.2 visually is the grill slats across the three openings—the nose would be so much cleaner, and the fact that the GTS does without them suggests the 3.0 will be just fine without them.

The car will do fine without them, other than slightly lower highway fuel economy. They exist, as all such shutters do, to reduce the aerodynamic drag when cooling requirements are low. At 80 mph, a 991.2 probably only needs 30-35 hp to maintain speed. At less than ten percent of peak output, the engine's cooling requirements are pretty low.
If you hate the grill shutters, you can probably remove them--and save a pound or two in the process, though you might get a warning light. |
This is timely as I pick up my C2S tomorrow. Do you have a center grill option for the adaptive cruise?

On a 991.1 GTS, is there a way to mount the grills at the very front of the intakes (In front of the laterally mounted fins) ? I like the way the intake grills on the GT3 look, and was wondering how close to that look was possible. With the current mounting solution, the grills are so far back they kind off disappear. Which is a shame. |
Also just a reminder for you guys, the free shipping over $100 sale is ending today so if you already plan on ordering, doing it now will save you a few $$ :thumbup:

Sorry we do not have a kit to eliminate the Active shutters on the 991.2!
Thanks for the response, however, and thank you for continuing to serve the Porsche community with products I know people appreciate. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...2f515610e7.jpg |
Love that design Pete, quality from 000 :cheers:

I just installed these on my 2017 base 991.2 with active shutters. Overall this product is solid and will provide good protection from debris. Their are some installation "gotchas" that I ran into:
EDIT: Removing the front wheels and the front half of the inner fender liner is the way to go, no need to remove headlights. See this post from bkrantz >> https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1023...tallation.html I have attached some pics: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...d31ade958c.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...7d06cf6a1.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c7fda9a9d.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...fa75589ca.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...4db306729.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...a960934a9.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...626d0d331.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...5214ccf4e.jpeg |
