To grill or not to grill
Read several threads on front radiator protection grills but is there any real world evidence that our radiators are truly in danger during normal use of our cars. Had anyone lost a radiator due to a rock strike? Are these grills really necessary?

Picked up something on the road (stone, screw?) that took out the radiator on my '18 TTS a couple of years ago. Thankfully about a mile from home. Flat beaded to dealer next day. $3K repair.

The 992 Turbo has a plastic grille in front of the central radiator. It's just so close to the radiator and follows the contours of the fins that it's hard to see, but it's definitely there. The side radiators are covered by shutters, so also mostly protected. I installed additional grilles in the 991.2 Turbo but will not in 992 - seems not needed.

I just ordered these same grilles. Do you know where I can find the info for the front bumper removal? Also, I have a front camera and night vision. It looks like I have to trim for those. I didn't see your whole bumper but did you have to deal with that too?
