Default 3D printed split grill insert

I wanted to share what John Rygg has come up with for the 993. He started this on the 964 forum here - https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...r-a-964-a.html

I asked if he would be interested in making one for the 993. So after a bunch of back & forth emails with measurements & pictures, this is what he came up with.







I painted it with Touch Up Direct paint.

It's a fun & inexpensive addition. I think John wants to see if there is any others interested. He has been great to work with on this. I know it's not a true split grill, but it doesn't cost $$$ like a real one either.

Thanks John!!

Things that make you go, "hhhhmmmm". I am curious. I get what you're saying about the fake factor and that 'vette, although that's just a poorly executed example and a million miles away from the '63, which originally donned the split.

I agree - eek!

I'm not at home now, but I can add more pics later when I am. It's held on by a thumb screw underneath.

Am I the only one who like the stock un-split grill better than the split grille?

No. You're not alone. I'm fine with what I have and still like it (non-split). I also briefly considered an RS Tail or a "duck", and finally decided I was happy with what I already had. I was just curious in case I ever change my thinking, nice to know options.
