I just installed the Zunsport grills guards. Very happy with the fit and finish. Plus you don't need to remove the front bumper.

We've also used Zunsport grills on our current & previous 911s & Boxster. Very happy with them. They work well & look good.

Zunsport. Took 15 minutes to put on 3 grills. Plus if you want to clean behind the grill, easy to take off and reinstall without taking bumper off.

I used this -> https://www.radiatorgrillstore.com/ - easy installation, looks good and won't break the bank.

Do you have a 991.1 or 991.2? I was getting ready to order some, and was a little uncertain if it had the right version.

Happy with my Rennline's but the bumper does need to come off.. I looked at it as an opportunity to check my radiators, etc. In fact, I ended up replacing my center instead of trying to fix all the bent fins.

I have a 991.1. I think the main difference within the 991.1 range is whether or not you have ACC as that is a different center grill. If you do order, you can use code 1006 043336 for 15% off.

Too bad they don't make them for the GTS/Sport Design.

For those you either have Rennline (take off bumper) or zunsport (don't take off bumper) for $100+ more, depends if you want to save money and take the bumper off or spend more and not as much work.

Taking off the bumper is really not a big deal. The alignment when put back together will be perfect. They were made to be taken apart and put back together.
