How easy are they to install DIY?

I had my body shop do them. Bumper comes off. He did have to do a little tweaking with fastening them. I think used a little glue too to avoid any visible fasteners. He did an amazing job putting them on.

See my pics. In front of the mesh.

They do not work and are not recommended to be put behind any mesh.

After a long phone conversation with Rennline. I was told these will not fit a '14 991C4S. Can anyone here confirm or debunk this?

It's the same 991 bumper! Why wouldn't they?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the openings on a C4s are different (larger?) than on a C2s.... I have Zunsport in the UK doing similar research. They have grills that fit a C4s (installed without removing front end) and I'm trying to confirm that those will fit a C2s (both with parking sensors).

Not sure. He said the part number was for 991S and there is currently no part number for the C4S. He "thinks" R&D are currently working on it.

S, 4S, base Carrera, all use the SAME bumper!

They will work.

Here's the page. When I called, the parts guy said "I guarantee they will fit." When I mentioned the webpage, he said "Hold on, let me double check." He came back and said "No, in fact they will not fit." It makes no sense to me either.
