If you couldn’t find it on their website, I’d take a picture of the front end and send them an email with your car particulars and the VIN. They are very responsive and can tell you if they have them or if they need a donor car to create the templates first

To those that have installed, curious how difficult it was for you. I have a set for a 991.1 GTS and they certainly don't seem to install anywhere as seamlessly to what is shown in the installation video and would require decent force to get them to try to align in place (particularly the middle insert as the bracket seems long and that the inside portion isn't flush to the bumper and the bracket requiring the clip does not align with the plastic it is to attach to). Before I try to really bend them into place wanted to get any thoughts based on your experiences, and if what I received may be slightly out of spec or I need to force the issue more (or maybe I'm just doing it wrong...). Your insights are appreciated.

It took me several hours to install mine on the front of a 991.1 Turbo S while the video and comments from others indicated an easy 30 minute install. My second set would probably be faster but still not the 30 minutes others have reported. That said, once installed they have stayed in place and I am happy with them. I ended up using some long twist ties to allow me to put the grills from behind the installation location on both sides and pull them into place with the ties. My center grill was the easiest for me. It was the three smaller grills on each side that took me a while. Once put into place I cut the ties off. I just used them for something to pull with. I suspect you just need to use more force.

It took me about 15 minutes, probably because I was quite **** as to how they were aligned. Use some painter's tape or something similar to protect your paint and do not be afraid to use a little force, or bend them a little to go in easier.

Took me 14.5 minutes. Quicker than Bob. Honestly, pretty easy to install. Bob is correct, you need to bend and use some force to make them fit.

I have bought several sets from Peter and Jan at Zunsports. Great customer service. Look good. Get them quick. Easy install- 15 minutes and do not have to remove bumper cover. . I have also used Radiator Grill Store. Zunsports are more expensive than Radiator Grill Store but better quality product IMHO. Zunsports has a YouTube video showing manufacturing process. Check it out.

Thanks for these replies. Helpful to know just need to use a little more elbow grease to get them into place to properly fit (probably a little too concerned I was going to break something...).

Do these work with the standard Carrera bumper with the active vents?

Yes, they install outside of the louvers and function is retained. You can also remove the louvers, if desired.

It took me longer to unpack them, than to install. But, I didn't use the inboard side vents, since I wanted to easily reach into the sides to remove anything which went through. Guess if I installed the inboard side vents it would have been equal to the time it took to unpack them.

I wish they made these to mount in front of the grill vents on the 991.1 like they do on the 991.2
