Default 992 - front grille set

Hi,

Reaching out to fellow p-car owners..
Looking at options for front grille set for my 992 C2. I know Zunsport offers them. Are there any other ones you recommend?

Pictures would be great

stick with the Zunsport they look much better and made better in my opinion all the rest are just held in place with zip ties.

Default Zunsport on 24 T

Pics since asked. I did the three grills even though I don’t have center radiator. Mostly I just liked the look of three but it’s possible I’ll add the center radiator in future down my mod path so I just got the grill and installed it. Install is literally 5 minutes. Quite simple. Does require willingness to put small screw holes in plastic of the front bumper but that stresses me out 0.1%. YMMV. Artistic look, not taken my me.

Depends on why you want the grills. If goal is aesthetics, buy whatever looks the best to YOUR eye. Many available at varying prices. But if goal is radiator protection, buy Zunsport as they are the strongest with best engineering.

BTW - I drove about 2500 miles before getting the grills and installing them. I eyeballed what I could see of the radiator fins when I did the grill install - I feel very good about my decision. They were rather banged up already - clearly stuff gets through the vents and in sizes large enough to make a dent on the fins.

Dented fins reduce cooling ability. One well placed rock or bird = $700-$1,000 repair bill for one radiator. Add another $300 if it also damages the AC heat exchanger too.

I went with "cheap" grills so that if/when something impacts and shatters them, I can replace them with another set by cutting off two tie wraps.

Was there enough clearance for the intake louvers? I have heard some get a error message re: touching from Zunsport grills?
