In the process of sourcing an Aero front bumper for 997.2
Do I still need the added pieces of the 997.2 third radiator kit?
So in other words, what is needed on a 997.2 Aero/GT3 front bumper?
Thanks

According to Suncoast, the 997.2 comes with everything the 997.1 kit comes with (except the different air duct that wjk pointed to).
In addition, it includes the front inner wheel well with air ducts & different ducts for the side radiators that connect to the aforementioned 997.2 center air duct.
According to my local dealer the GTS already included all that duct work, so I ordered the 997.1 kit + 997.2 center air duck wjk linked to at ECS & everything fit perfectly
As for my original reason for installing (rennline said it was needed to have a center screen), that isn’t true...you can pop off the center air diverter and attach the screens...though you’d probably get less airflow to you existing radiators (& and you’d still probably need to cut holes in the bottom of the bumper to let air flow through).
As the the extra piece needed that Rennline alluded to, I never ordered anything and I have them installed...so not sure what it was referring to

brother thank you!
I installed the 3rd radiator on my 2012 Carrera S using the following parts. MUCH CHEAPER than the kit from Suncoast and exactly the same parts. I have a 2011 GTS and this would work on it as well.
For the 997.2 you need this in addition to the radiator kit:
AIR ROUTING 997-575-141-07 $139.80
RADIATOR 99704410005 (The Kit) $173.22

As y'all know, there's two separate 3rd radiator kits for the .1 and .2 Carrera models. Here's some photos from ECS as an example...
997.1 Carrera models ($202) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...n/99704410005/
997.2 Carrera models ($885) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...710603702kt10/
Some parts (e.g. the radiator) is the same in both kits. But the ducts are different.
997.1 center air duct ($100) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/99757514102/
997.2 center air duct ($187) - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...t/99757514107/
However, that doesn't explain the $600+ price delta between the kits.
I'm a bit mystified...
