It would look exactly the same as the original!
Any update? Still really want one, but not at $1400+

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the slots from the grille is available to purchase one at the time. For some unknown reason I have lost the last one from mine. Its not broken, and no evidence of forced to the grille. It looks like its just glued on! All other slots are intact with no issues. I hate to spend so much money for just a little piece of plastic. Mine is a 50th and it has the silver piece on the end of the slot. It doesnt look bad, but I know its missing and drives me crazy. I had no idea when it fell or otherwise. One day all of a sudden I realized it was gone.

Hello. I would like to install a 50th grill on my 999.1S. It should look great on my anthracite brown C2S. However, the grill is very expensive. Please let me know where I can get one for as little as possible.

The "lowest possible price" is usually found here on the rennlist forum Marketplace. These grilles don't pop up often, but when they do they're normally priced in the $1000-$1300 range... and, even at that price point, they tend to sell very quickly.

At this point, I'm very seriously considering pulling the trigger on a massive 3D Printer so that I can just make parts like this at home. Even if I drop a few thousand on the printer, it will essentially have paid for itself after printing approximately two parts.

For anyone else interested, you'll find this here in the "Exterior" section - along with the chrome and 911R versions (plus lots of other goodies!)
Any chance of seeing a Black Friday sale on the GTS engine grille? I am about to give up waiting for a used or replica.

If someone is willing to donate their grill for mold purposes for a few weeks. I can have a mold made by a friend of mine who does fiberglass and carbon body parts. It's just not worth me paying $1500 for a sample piece mold. Not worth it, plus I'm not doing this to make a dollar, I'd rather help the RL community. Whatever price point makes sense to cover costs and shipping is what it will cost.

Does your friend have ballpark of what the cost will be?

We can probably also chip in to compensate the grill donor

Yeah, honestly, I've been doing the same talking to carbon-layers and would be down to chip in on an OEM part to get a template done.

I am in too so long as it gets done in a somewhat timely fashion and comes out good.

I talked to my injection mold person. He said to use a c-clip it might cost close to 5900 but you get 1000 units.

Does anyone have pictures of the bottom? And does anyone know if the grill is 1 piece or two? He needs detailed pictures. What makes it more complex is the smoothness of the grills. That means there’s finishing involved. Plus if each grill is a different size it costs more. We need measurements for sure.
