FWIW, I had the rennline grills installed on my car about two years ago by an Indy and the labor charge was $202.50 and they gave me a 20% discount for being a PCA member.
Including parts and shipping the total was $456.25.

My 2016 had very little extra wire to reach & disconnect the connector. The other was removing the retaining clip on each side. I suggest that if you attack this project be sure you have something that looks like a screwdriver with an angular hook at the end. I used a set of rug weaving tools purchased on Amazon for abut $10. You will need this to remove the retain clip and reinstall it.
I fabricated a hook out of a metal coat hanger. Worked well.

im not sure which i used but it was one of the small hooked ones. Second from the left I believe. Everyone should have a set of hook and pick tools. Super helpful.

^^^^ This is the set I purchased. I can't tell you how many varied uses I have found for them since I purchased them. Every toolbox should have a set.

Yep, very useful tools. I use this to remove the rubber ring gasket on the oil filter housing when changing the oil.

FWIW this is my experience as well. I felt like the Rennline grills were more OEM looking & went that route. OP I had a reputable shop install my Rennline grills and they charged me 400 for the labor

Actually if I remember correctly I don't even think Zunsport had the grills I needed for the third/center radiator after contacting them, so I didn't have a choice

Different strokes for different folks, but in any case getting some form of them installed is fixing a big oversight from Porsche. Way less crap building up and smacking against the radiators

Agree. Rennline has a nice OEM looking solution.

Pictures of my recent 3rd Radiator install with screens. No exposed hardware or straps to hold screens in place.
