RSS? http://www.roadsportsupply.com/products.html

There are others who carry the products, too, e.g., I think these were purchased from Performance Products (I forget where he said he bought them).

I think they are out of business. Their website is down. I also found this.

Got the CG grilles on my '3 as well - had them fitted when my new 3RS pu was being fitted - apparently not the easiest or straightforward job (according to the paint shop), but they do look like factory fit items. Mine are black so almost indistinguishable from a distance.

Now that I notice, I guess I'll have to paint these black. Didn't really register that they weren't black, just jumped on 'em. Any recommendations on how best to paint them for durability?

Powder coat them. Installing them is easy.

I made my own last summer from aluminum rain gutter screening available at the local hardware store. I painted them with a spray can of black enamel that had been hanging around the garage for a decade or so. They looked terrible after only a few track days and a few car washes. So I made a new set this time having them powder coated and so far after 6 track days they are still perfect. Well worth the extra effort and cost to get them powder coated.

I got a quote of $340 to powdercoat them. Does that sound about right? Sounds high to me.

Really high. Don't tell them they are Porsche parts. I get metal brackets for muscle cars powdercoated in satin black for $15-20 per bracket. 3 pieces like that should be $45-60

I was going through a "friend" to get these done. I'll use the Yellow Pages to see what kind of price I get from a regular shop. Thanks
