So anyway I just paid out of pocket for the speaker and replaced it myself. Super easy.

Nice work, is your garage floor vinyl plank?

I used this pdf: https://******************/viewtopic.php?t=574

Unfortunately you have to make an account and post to download the PDF... But it was good. It's really just 4 screws, pulling upward on the door panel, disconnecting three easy connections. Replacing the speaker is obvious.

Edit: I can't link to that other site because of some ancient forum rivalry I guess but if you Google "HOW TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL ON A PORSCHE 992" you can find it.

Have you tried? Don't think the GTS bumper has that big of an opening.

Too bad, would have been a great time to also add some sound deadener into the doors as your bass would have been much tighter/fuller after that.

@siberian this is the best DIY tutorial I've seen...via Musicar

Honestly, you really need to remove the bumper anyway to clean out the debris that have accumulated (really substantial, despite a very babied 12k miles). Robust design with rock-solid fixation so no rattles/movement -- I think they look fantastic as well.

Apologies for the suboptimal photos, as my car needs a wash



looks fantastic. i might get a set for my car.

usually the rocks that end up hitting the side radiators are small stones. does this really stop them? does anyone who have them installed notice a change in operating temp?

Yep I added Dynamat and Dynaliner when I diagnosed and unplugged that speaker last year... Only on the driver's door though!

To the person who asked about my flooring, it's Racedeck Charred Oak.

Yes I went with rennline grilles instead and have a non-sport design car...fit well and look OEM and do not impede function. Paid $276 plus installation cost. Full set was Rennline Radiator Protection Grill Screens - SKU# E1006.

Didn't use the center portion on mine...though. So you can defer that part if you don't have Sport Design. BTW with the rennline ones the bumper did need to come off to get the best fit but my dealer did it as part of a service and front PPnF fix so it was all good.

Had Zunsport on my 981 Cayman S and it worked and looked well and was an easy installation but the 992 was a bit different beast and like the Rennline look a bit better.
