Installed the third radiator and Rennline grills, ordered led side markers and white chrono... Thinking about new wheels...

Somebody stops me please 😂😂😂😂

It's all downhill from here! Make the car your own.

Did you do the radiator & grills yourself or did you have them installed for you. Would love to hear about the installation.

I have 3rd radiator kit sitting in garage.... how long did it take to do? Thinking about doing it tomorrow, or thinking about relaxing and not working on car... decisions decisions...

I'll add my two cents - Took me most of a day with breaks and taking my time/cleaning as I went. Did the third radiator, grills, and swapped standard driving lights for the tinted version all at the same time. Followed instructions in Yolofotos YouTube videos on Porsche 911.1 front bumper removal, grills, and adding a third radiator. He does a good job IMO.

Thanks for the comment. I've watched the Yolofotos video too. Nicely done. What's your DIY skill level on a scale of 1 to FTS (Hell No F-That-****)? Is yours a .1 or .2? Any particular challenges that were not adequately addressed in the video?

Not to take the thread even further into the weeds, but, it took me 1/2 day of actual work or less to do the 3rd/middle radiator. Yolo's DIY video is very helpful. A couple of notes:
1. Purchase a Walmart 1 gallon pump up type sprayer (like used for pesticides etc) and once the lowest hose to the 3rd Rad is connected pressurize the pesticide sprayer (with the misting end uninstalled) to fill the 3rd radiator with coolant and plumbing so you don't have as many struggles burping the system.
2. Use a lubricant (Dow Corning)on the O rings to guarantee an initial seal on the hose seals.
3. When removing the coolant blanking plugs, after removing the metal retaining wires, grasp the plug(s) by the inner flange, not the outer edge of the plug, they pop right out if you do!
4. Make sure to orient the 3rd radiator correctly (there is a fore, aft, top, bottom orientation) before plugging in the coolant hoses

Mine is a 991.1 & I would say I have slightly above average DIY skills. I tackle projects like this but am not someone that would do major motor repairs for example. The reality is that removing bumpers, and the like, is not that tough you simply need to have the proper tools and take your time. The only challenge I had was getting the headlight washer fluid lines situated back properly but that would be a non-issue if you are not replacing the driving lights like I did. Keep the parts organized and taking a few pics on your cell phone to reference when putting things back together is never a bad idea!

Picked up the new RGS 991.2 GTS side grills, now I gotta wait for the 2-4 week shipping

No, I took the easy way out and did at Indy! Well worth it 😅

I used these guys for my radiator grills. I have the Sport Design on my 2014 991.1. They fit great and I found out they were local. I went by to pick them up and the owner helped with install. He was great and the install was flawless. No need to remove bumper and they fit great and I have used them for awhile now and no issues with overheating or debris. In my opinion this is a better alternative to some of the other options and they are cheaper, easier to install and rock solid fit and finish
