meh I’m just ready to try a different product. I bent the sh*t out of my trim pieces and they were showing signs they were gonna fail, so before I had to buy new parts, I just threw in the towel. I don’t think an updated video seems like priority to them, and that’s ok by me.
I tried and it just didn’t work out. I’m sure they can work for someone else.
They didn't work for me! I had to apply so much force, as was suggested, that the center horizontal bar on the medial end broke. Fortunately I was able to jam it back in but it's screwed up. It was a traumatic project. Sent it back for a refund. Buyer Beware.

Zunsport installed, nice attractive package, but the clip system on the bottom grill would not stop something substantial from doing damage to the radiator. The top grill depends on the small plastic trim piece to prevent the same issue. Leaves, small pebbles etc. all good but as a solution to expensive damage not.
None of these grills regardless of mfgr’r will stop anything substantial such as large rocks or concrete chunks. Designed for leaves, grocery sacks, cigarette butts, sticks, small stones and just maybe a small bird. I once hit a rabbit in my truck and it took out both the grill and radiator. Insurance fixed it.
Here's my solution to protect the evaporators/radiators on 992s with automatic louvers. See pic.
I merely rolled up three cylinders of plastic mesh made by Gutter Guard and inserted them behind the louvers, leaving clearance for the louvers to operate.

Ok, I bought the same gutter guard and tried it and decided to remove it again. The height is just too short and I was not happy how it flaps around in there and I can see the top end of the gutter guard. Granted, you only see it when you bend down and the guards are on on eye. How did you deal with that?
I'd been putting off installing my RGS grilles due to comments on this thread. This morning I went to re-watch the instructions on the website and saw that there is a new video that is MUCH better than the previous one
I bought these on eBay last night. Once they arrive i’ll post more details on fit and installation. I didn’t want to spend +300 on gutter guard, and the rolled plastic DYI wasn’t doing the trick for me.

Thanks @RGS ... I'll maybe try the install later today!
That video would have helped me out. Couldn't get the end tab back into the painted, slanted piece so I just snipped those tabs off. Stays in place with the 3 other connection points. Figure I can order new trim pieces if they come loose. So far, so good.

Installed these yesterday. It was relatively painless and took me about 30 minutes. The only issue I had was that one of the cable ties turned out to be defective and was smooth on both sides.
After watching the new video I could see how much 'abuse' the plastic trim would take without breaking, so I just pulled it out and bent it far enough to thread through the cable ties. Worked just fine.

The Custom Grills radiator protection mesh arrived in the mail over the weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily I could install them. The instructional video on the website provided valuable guidance. However, I did encounter a minor issue during the installation process. The zip ties included were difficult to secure because neither my hand nor my petite 12-year-old daughter's hands could fit in. I threaded the zip tie through the designated area before securing the grill to work around this. Although it was a tight fit, I managed to secure it successfully. Considering the quality and durability of the product, the price seemed reasonable, especially for a Porsche accessory.
