Dear Friends:

Does anyone know where to get black grill inserts for a stock front bumper for my 2000 996 ? I found some for a Boxter but not for my car.

Thanks for any help.

For what it's worth, I have been told that it may be better not to use grill inserts on any of our P-cars. Unless the grill inserts are easy to remove, the junk that bilds up behind the grill will cause more problems (e.g., overheating) than the grill will prevent (I have been told that damage to the radiators due to debris is rare on the non-Turbo models). The open grills makes it easier to maintain clean radiators.

I have no information on where to get grills, and no personal experience with any of the issues described above. I just thought you might want to hear what I have been told.

I've found them in the Performance Product catalogs for 996

Cargraphics has them (this may be the same as Performance Products sells). There was a recent thread in the 997 forum debating the merits of these.
