I posted this in the rennline grill thread but figured I should separate it to avoid any conflict with their product thread.
I made a set of grill screens with screen material I ordered from Amazon.
Removed the active flaps but left the motors attached and plugged in to avoid throwing any codes.
Used the active flap “frames” to secure the screen behind the bumper trim.
Kind of a pain in the butt. I am very happy with the end results though. I think I may make a “dummy” one for the center just to make it all uniform looking. But I will need some ambition to do that anytime soon.
Before removing the active flaps Inside of the bumper Worked great for the track day at VIR
Looks great! How did you secure the screens to the flap "frame"?
Cheers, -Peter
I just bent the screen material to fit under the frames in a way that secured them when I put the screws back in to hold the frames.
Nothing fancy...just took some patience.

Can you post a link to the material you ordered off Amazon?
This makes me ill. Had something fly off a truck recently that left huge black marks on the front bumper and front side of my car. Was super lucky that it did not penetrate PPF and I was able to rub it off. GT3, did you pull the bumper for this?
