Yes my "guy" did a great job :
1. Cutting out the lateral horizontal bars (he wasn't convinced but I was 110% sure it would look awesome and OEM)
2. Making the central plastic trim flush with the new black grill (makes a huge difference in looks)
3. No grills in the inside small air vents (just like the 911 R).
I've been driving the car for a while now with zero issues! It just looks so good like this.
I will add pics coming weekend.

Very cool. I was concerned of leaving the inside small vents opens as with my luck, leaves will get in but I can't get them out. I guess a flexible hose vacuum cleaner will do the trick.
Awesome job. My son lives and goes to school in KC (and so did I for about 10 years) and every summer I take my sports car for a drive to KC....so, I might come back to you on this next summer. I can't imagine the process would be much different for a 991.2, but of course, the parts would be different.

Previously owned 50th, post 76: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/842093-g-g-4.html Two radiator 991's no need to remove FBC to install the mesh (post # 10) :http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...-991-diys.html Three radiator 991.1's you'll need to remove FBC. You'll then need to clean, cut, bend and adhere mesh to inside of FBC with screws, clips, JB Weld, etc. George (STG) recommends lightly spraying the silver radiators in black. Re-install the FBC..about 3 hours for a first timer. Cost: approx $ 70 with the Custom Car Grills (I already had the tools but if you don't add approx $ 15-20). On the GTS, went with the Zunsport grills $ 340. No need to remove the FBC. Both types of grills are effective and look great. If your a DIY'r and like to tinker, save some $ and purchase the Custom Car grills, or install the Zunsport grills. The Zunsports offer the option to easily remove the grills to vacuum out small debris that finds it's way through. Have not tried the Rennsport Grills so cannot comment on them. Would also advise to have your FBC wrapped in Xpel or ? for added paint protection. T

I do love how aggressive and OEM it looks.
