Agree...looks very nice. Should be a standard option from Porsche IMHO. Same as opting for painted or gloss black lettering!

^^ Looks awesome, especially with the black roof. Add back PORSCHE in black lettering and your car would be sick. De-badged looks a little plain in the back IMO.

I was looking for a little more “bling” in the back & went with the 50th anniversary grille. Will likely sell in a few weeks - PM me if interested.

Easy install, it looks great! I think the chrome lettering looks fine with the black non-chrome grille.

Agreed. I think you could go either way with your car's color. No wrong answer.

I'm usually in favor of visual continuity but I have to agree with DOG ON, looks good as is.

Eh, I dunno. I really think the standard slats look better. Not saying I wouldn't take one of these for free, but I like the flow at the rear with the painted OEM slats.

To each their own

I do wish there were a few more (reasonably priced) options. It would be interesting to see something like the GTS thin slats painted in OEM body color... could be a good look, too.

Absolutely to each their own. I wish it wasn’t as expensive too.

Any of the happy buyers of the black rear grill kit interested in selling it already? please feel free to send me a PM. I recently bought a 991.1 C4S cabrio and I would love to make this upgrade ASAP.

Thank you in advance!
