GTS mesh grill question
#31
Freeman: I will let you and The list know how things go after I install the Rennline grills, hopefully this weekend. I will be following plenum's DIY on 6SO. The mesh is fairly small so I can't imagine too much junk will get past it.

As asked but unanswered on this and other similar threads, ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE RENNLIST MESH, HOW DO YOU CLEAN THE DEBRIS THAT HAVE BYPASSED THE MESH AND COLLECTED IN THE RADIATORS? IS THE ONLY ROUTE REMOVING THE FRONT BUMPER? AS I HAVE MENTIONED IN ANOTHER THREAD, I HAVE NO MESH. I USE MY CRAFTSMAN VACUUM AND MY MASTER BLASTER WHILE I AM DRYING THE CAR TO REMOVE DEBRIS. I DO NOT BELIEVE EITHER WOULD BE EFFECTIVE WITH THE MESH IN PLACE. ANY KIND, UNOFFENSIVE SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED.

Freeman, nothing barely makes it through the mesh. Really don't need to worry about it.
After a couple years, just pop off the bumper if you need to do any cleaning.
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING has its +/-'s. Nothing is perfect, and these aren't maintenance free. But that's the case with every other part on the car too.
Pick your poison.

As asked but unanswered on this and other similar threads "Once you have installed the Rennlist mesh, how do you clean the debris that bypassed the mesh and collected in the radiators ? Is this the only route removing the front bumper ? As I have mentioned in another thread, I have no mesh. I use my Craftsman vacuum and my Master Blaster while I am drying the car to remove debris. I do not believe either would be effective with the mesh in place. Any kind, unoffensice suggestions would be very appreciated." Drove the 50th approx 10, 000 miles with screens before selling. The screens pretty much pulverize anything befpre it gets through and turns to small fragments/dust. Rads look much better not taking those direct hits. Plan to install both the screens and inner fender well mesh on the new GTS-same as what was done on the 50th.

I am no longer concerned with cleaning out debris that happens to get by the mesh grilles.

I was worried about cleaning out debris as well. I use a Master Blaster like you. I regret not putting on my aftermarket rennline grilles immediately after they arrived. Like you, I was worried about cleaning. All that changed when road debris punctured my A/C condenser located in the right air intake foil. 2k repair, not covered under warranty, that was luckily repaired at no charge after escalating to PCNA.

also i assume you are satisfied with the way these things came out? are they noticeable in black or kind of blend in?
also, i'm assuming everything was thoroughly cleaned when the bumper was off? and did you spray paint the radiators?

what was your labor for installing? i am getting these delivered straight to my installer. the cost is pretty substantial though, 2.5 hours at 190 per hour also i assume you are satisfied with the way these things came out? are they noticeable in black or kind of blend in? also, i'm assuming everything was thoroughly cleaned when the bumper was off? and did you spray paint the radiators?
Several people have these installed on here. I have seen them up close, in person and they look great.

I picked the car up late last week after the condenser was repaired. On a brief vacation now. I need to take it to another dealer for the mesh grille instal when I return.

On the 991 GTS I really like the look of the renline protectors on the four side grille openings. I don't like the non flush appearance of the center grille. Is there any way to get the center flush like the GT cars???
