Default Free radiator grills, help me with a write up

Hello
I am looking to prototype a set of 991 radiator grills. I need somebody to work with me in getting them to fit. Somebody who is willing to put in some time and effort to understand how this mounts and do a write up (how-to) will get a free set of grills.

Let me me know if you're interested.
Thanks

Are you looking for 991.1 or .2?

I'd be happy to help if you ship to MD.

I guess either would be good. I have a set of 991.1 grills to model off of. So a 991.1 would be more straight forward. What do you have?

How difficult is this on the DIY scale? I successfully swapped out a steering wheel if that is any gauge of my skill level

I have rennline grills but am waiting till I do a 3rd radiator for install... If the bumpers do not need to come off then I am game for a 991.1 regular bumper.

Way easier, I design them to be installed without removing the bumper. It is an option that is not out there on the market. Easier removal for cleaning the radiators if needed.

Typically the center grills are bumper off install or installed with the bumper on and with 3M tape as there is usually nothing to cable tie to. If that is the case (unfortunately don't have a 991 that I know in the area to prototype), and you can get me a template, I can create one and we can test it out.

I have a 991.1 S with a standard bumper and am very interested if you still need test subjects. (My fingers are crossed!)

991.1 Base with Manual transmission. I'm interested, and semi-gifted at writing, and local to you.

I'll be a tester and send a center radiator grill from renline to use if you send it back when you're done. Pm me details of what you need.

I have a 991.1 C2S, I took the bumper off this past weekend (cleaning the radiators) so I know I'm getting into.
