Thanks for sharing EE. Maybe a dumb question, but does your GTS have a center radiator? I thought the 992 Carrera's only had the two (my C4S is on a boat parked outside the Panama Canal or I'd check). If not, is there anything else important back there to protect, or were you going for the complete look? Nice work and take care.
They all.have the same cooling stack from what I know but there are 2 different bumper styles
I installed a complete set of Zunsport grills on my GTS. Quality product and excellent fit. No zip ties involved and didn't have to remove the bumper cover either, that's what sold me. Easy enough for me to have done, granted I watched a couple videos and read the instructions many times over to make sure I wouldn't mess up the paint or drill into something I'd regret (only 3 screws). Even though they're manufactured in England and I'm across the pond, I had them in my hand in less than a week from the time of my order. Very responsive customer service as well. With these grills on now, I won't have to worry about sucking a pebble or rock into my radiators and that's a bit of a good feeling.
DId you have to secure the grilles with the screw still? I just with they offered different patterns.

The GTS does not have a center radiator. The center is just closed off plastic. I decided just to do the outer grilles over the radiators for my GTS (which is the same as the 992 with the sports design bumper).

Yes, if you want to ensure that you protect both radiators fully, you'll want to install the center grill also. The center portion of the front bumper has openings or scoops on both ends of it and they lead directly into each radiator, providing cooling air. If you don't put a grill on the center you have a vulnerability of a pebble, rock or other object passing though these openings, and passing behind the side grills and directly into either radiator. I didn't realize these openings existed until I spotted them while I was prone'd out on my garage floor scoping out every nook and cranny, and then put my hand all the way through and saw that a rock could take the same path, end up behind the side grills and run smack into the radiator. GTS's have the sport design front bumpers so they should all have these unseen openings. Check it out and let me know what you find
I want these, they look great. Suncoast parts also sells something similar but looks like they require you to remove the bumper - which is a no for me.
Rennline grills do require bumper cover removal and numerous screws, that's why I chose Zunsport....you can see youtube videos that will give you insight on how to install them

GTS's have sport design bumpers, which have subtle openings on each end of the center opening, which appears to be a solid plastic cover until you check each side and find the openings I'm talking about

there are a total of three small screws, 1 for each side grill that is super easy to install, the screw goes into a flat piece of plastic that the grill then covers, The center requires a bit of measurement, screwing in a small bracket to the plastic on the base of the center plastic cover, which is then used to secure the center of the grill to said bracket; not difficult at all

take another look at the center and you'll find an opening/scoop on each side of it and they lead into the radiators, so a small rock could get scooped up in there and end up hitting one of the side radiators because it bypasses the grills you just installed on each side

yeah, I saw that but think that’s a low probability event and I was not totally enamored of the center grille look. Willing to live with the low prob event.
