Default Ft bumper question

Are the 997.1 gt3 and factory aero ft bumpers the same? I have the bumper skin off just finished installing my 3rd rad kit. I got a set of zunsport grills for a gt3,I have a factory aero car,the bumpers look the same. I’m highly disappointed in the fit of the grills. Maybe the 2 bumpers are slightly different...

Yes, I believe they are different. The Aero kit bumper doesn't have the center smile vent whereas the GT3 one does. Not sure if there are other subtle differences in the vent areas as well that would explain the screen fitment differences.

I asked the same question to Zunsport before I bought the (3) grills. They told me to order the GT3 package. The center grill fit great. I have not put the left / right grills on yet but am also concerned with the fit just by holding the grill up to the space it should fill......I don't see how it will fit. Maybe someone can chime in this.

I started with the rt outer grill and no way it’s going to fit correctly. I’ve e-mailed zunsport and sent them a pic of the ft of my car. I’m waiting to here back. I’ll probably end up going with the Rennline set.

Thank you for your reply, I realize the smile vent difference. I was more curious if the left and right bumper air intakes are the same. My wife bought me the screens for Christmas. The Rennline screens do show a different part number for aero and gt3. Waiting to hear back from zunsport.... thanks again....
