Just installed mine this weekend. Seems like there is some variation of the actual grill openings per others posts. My car is 991.1S w/o parking sensors and I followed the instructions and was done in about 10 mins per side. Agree with the feedback that the zip ties could be a touch longer just to have plenty of length to play with but otherwise no problems and happy with the results. Fit was 95%, a smidge off in the lower / center section on both sides but so minor that it's not really visible, particularly with the grille being black and behind the wings. Great price point / fit / value.
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, longer cable ties are now included.
This is perfect for me s I need to work around multiple laser and Rf detectors. Where did you get the rubber edging ?

The rubber edging was leftover from a greenhouse kit I built for my wife. So not much help there, but any flexible u shaped trim piece you might find from auto parts, Home Depot etc would work.
Put me down for the one with the center radiator. I have ot added it yet but im in florida and its on the list. It would.be really cool if you figured out how to replace that center plastic piece anyway as it looks cheap
Ok I was able to get the strake covers off with a little persuasion. What the directions don't tell you is there's a horizontal notched tab that fits into a slot on the bumper. Once I figured that out I was able to coax it out.
However, I've learned these grills do not fit my 991.1 opening (without the vertical strake). What's there on half of the opening is a large plastic piece that's integrated into the horizontal strakes. There's no room to fit the grill between the strakes and the plastic molding. Even if you could fit it there, you are blocked by a vertical plastic connector that attaches the strakes to the large plastic molding. Unless I'm missing something, they don't fit. See attached image where the strakes and the molding connect.
I have the same, I wonder if those can be removed. Feels like there are a couple screws on the other side. Of course bumper needs to come off and that defeats the whole purpose for these no bumper removal grills

P.S.
Why are they even there?
@malahhaor unfortunately Porsche has many variations and the base cars have a shroud that covers half of the radiator opening. We will pay for shipping back as we did not know about this variation until now. PM me and we can either custom fabricate a set to fit half of the opening or gladly refund your money.
Installed mine yesterday. Very happy with fit, quality and instructions. The zip ties coming pre-fit/positioned made the job even easier. I think it took me 30 minutes all in, most of the time was spent cleaning my radiators/recess with air compressor and vacuum before fitting.

Sorry for the confusion. I actually didn't purchase it. I realized something is different about my bumper just in time. Then I saw someone also posted the same.
But thank you for being a top notch on this @RGS !

Absolutely! We are here to take calls and even FaceTime to walk through installation.

Thank you so much @AdamSanta85 for the positive feedback highlighting the easy of installation!
