Nice, easy idea - any chance you have a pic from the distance how it looks overall? Sure would help protecting those coolers.

We have a local customer that we can do another video with. I didn’t have a “helper” that day so couldn’t hold the camera and install at the same time. Also the part showing the spacer install on what looks like the bumper removed was just shown on a part we had laying around. We developed the spacer kit after that initial install. Good suggestions!

Is there a reason you don't offer a grille set for a 992 standard bumper?

Awesome. Just ordered one. Will be waiting for the new video. Thanks! What a vendor.

I can share with you all that RGS product is great and pretty easy to install. Mine is off getting PPF/ceramic/tint so I'll take pictures when it returns. ALSO, their service/support is fantastic. I lost one of the "pro install" black plastic barrel parts (my fault) and they quickly jammed one off in the mail to me no charge. I would recommend RGS to anyone looking for a bumper on solution. The only difficult step is getting the last part of the cosmetic Louver back in which was a bit of a pain.

Hoping your install goes better than mine. Please keep up updated.

We did some testing and development on the 991.2 and the active aero system was intrusive to creating a behind the slats OEM looking solution. We haven’t had a chance to look at the 992 active aero system to see if we get more room and can create a solution for you all.

Looks like you’re located in Chicagoland? May enlist your help on the install (if that’s an option?). My T is a week or two away…

Give us a call. We can surely lend a hand. We are enthusiasts!

Appreciate the reply, I have a 992 with the standard bumper being built and I absolutely want to protect the radiators. Really don't understand why Porsche has neglected to protect these on Carreras but offers protection on a GT3. I do like the appearance of your screen, however my only solution at this point without having to remove a bumper cover appears to be with a Zunsport product out of the UK. Maybe consider a screen design with placement being forward of the active aero flaps?

I believe it is a piece to help pop the trim pieces off.

they are going to want to re-clip themselves, and the blue piece acts as a spacer.

jj is right. It essentially is a cheap trim tool. I used mine trying to snap the cover back into the bumper. That last one it a bitch.

Previous responses are correct. It is a small tool we include to be able to use as a ramp to unclip the trim piece. It is small to get into the space and has a good ramp to separate the clip and plastic to not scratch.
