Clearly there is enough interest here... not sure where the prior template(s) live but i'm okay with buying another template and offering it up according to these rules.

Hey, sorry - i ended up posting in another thread that to do this properly it takes a lot more than just adding the vent and duct... the mount needs to be replaced with a different GT3 mount to move the air up aft the radiator, vs. down for the current bottom exit.
Apparently, no one has done this [properly] so i am not going to venture into this space just yet, as i don't have the time to fabricate or source the parts for it.

For a 997.1S this thread explained the steps to add the GT3 parts and vent the air through the smile.
https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...adiator-2.html

If you already have the center radiator then the thread stated you needed parts #4 & #11
997-504-487-92 retaining frame #4
997-504-489-81 air duct #11

Look at the image in Post#11.

Please share the other thread if they indicate something else needs to be done.

TY

Interesting. This sounds a lot more complicated then I was hoping it would be.

@Delirium45 How did you resolve the issue with the angle/front air inlet/bumber lining up?

Seems like the radiator could remain angled rearward but that would reduce airflow. The smile vent then just becomes an aesthetic.
