Default New front grille 991S

Hi,

I have ordered the new Lumma front grille, I could you wait for the part to arrive in the next 3-4 weeks so I did the photoshop to show how will the car look because I did not order the whole Lumma kit (just only front grille, no headlamp frames, no front splitter).

I just want to give my 991S a bit more aggressive look to match the rear. I think it is not bad at all and the front grill does look similar to 458. Anyway, will wait to see the real outcome once I have installed it. Enjoy!

Does it just go over the stock opening or is there a whole new front bumper?
Looking at the Lumma site, I'm not sure the fit & finish is there....

Hi, please see the below reply from Lumma

"For the fitment of the front grille – we supply fitting adhesive with the new part.
The new item is bonded onto your existing grille. Fitment is excellent."

"I hope to have the item in the next 2-3 weeks as all of the new parts are still in manufacture"

Please see the below picture of the Lumma kit from Geneva motor show. The Lumma grille is painted in silver but I will paint mine in matt black to match with the original black plastic air intake though

I think it looks good. Nice P-shop job! Looking forward to seeing your pics after you instal it.

Hi, thank you for all comments. Some comments made me think twice but it is a bit too late for me to change my mind since I already ordered it :P

I will put it on my 911 then I will see it again whether I will like it or not, if not I hope someone here could be interested so I can sell it at a bargain price.
