A mistake on their end... Call Suncoast and ask them about the bumpers. They'll confirm for you.

I received an answer back from Zunsport about their existing Grills for a C4s with parking sensors. Peter indicated that they would not fit a C2s with parking sensors.

I ordered a set from Rennline today for installation next week during a bumper-off chip repair.

The set from Rennline looks good. Has anyone done a DIY install?

For the DIY in you: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...-991-diys.html Install is a little easier if you have 2 radiators and you don't mind knowing you will have a few tie wraps (down low, you won't notice). For a cleaner install and especially if you have the center radiator (powerkit) you will want to remove the front bumper cover. STG had a great tip to carefully clean your radiators, then lightly spray black. You can purchase any size grill mesh from www.customgrillmesh.com or ? if DIY'ing and you will save some $$. Plenum has a super write up on how to remove FBC with pics on link above. T

I took the plunge last night and ordered the 5 piece set for my Sport Design bumper. I'm also going to pick up a fin comb to fix the bent radiator fins before installation.

Good response from Rennline. Sent them an email yesterday inquiring about modifying the grills so they don't interfere with my AL Priority jammers. Apparently easy to trim.

Default 991 C4S Grill Install w/ Front Sensors

DIY install for my 991 C4S with front sensors. Need to take the bumper off, but after that, super easy with the right tools. Looks great (IMHO). And it saves the radiators from leaves, pebbles and other crap.

Could you please post the link to the YouTube 997 owner, thank you

Here you go. Please give a thumbs up if you like it. I know it sounds cheesy to secure it with cable ties but trust me it is down low and really hard to notice at all.

I do not have the grill mesh yet. But each time I wash my GTS, I vacuum the louvers and Mapblast them during drying. That seems to remove all the debris. I just want to know of those who have installed the mesh, how will you now remove the debris that bypassed the mesh? There will be much of it and you can no longer get into it with a vacuum or Mapblast when you have the mesh.

good question. i'd think that the finer the mesh the less debris would pass, and that the zip-tied ones could be easily removed if necessary (the fixed type less so).

by the way, what is "Mapblast"?

Sorry, it is Master Blaster. Wayne Carrini advertises it. I have owned it for close to two years. It dries off the car within 10-15 minutes with no spots. It even does crevices and wheels. My entire car wash takes about 20-30 minutes from wet to scrub to rinse to dry.

Also, what is the issue with debris that get beyond the mesh? How do you remove it? I do not have mesh but I can remove the debris with the Craftsman Vacuum and the Master Blaster.
