Default Help: Hole in Fan Shroud (Pics)

My mom's '96 has developed a hole in the fan shroud (correct term I hope). The rubber is malleable yet breaks off easily. You can see below I've covered the hole with some duct tape for now. Fortunately the engine has no problem staying within normal operating temps even before the duct tape was masterfully put into place. How complex is the replacement of this part, and what part number(s) are involved? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Common problem, call a dealer or Sunset Porsche and order it. Youi'll need the serial number of your car because there are two types of fan shrouds. It's made out of rubber that falls apart after about 7 years. Expect to pay between $25-35 It's held on by a few screws and it's very simple to replace.
