Default Help with front bumper GT3 grille

I want to install the GT3 front bumper top grille to a 2007 Turbo, 6 speed. Anyone done the job? Instructions? I have seen some grilles in EBay....any recommendations on best place to buy?

Thanks

Bump. I went ahead and bought the grille, as it was OEM stuff, not a replica. Just wondering if anyone could share any heads up on the installation.

Are you talking about fitting a metal mesh behind the bumper to protect the radiators - like the GT3's have? If so then I have written DIY threads on other sites for this which I can copy here on request...

Thanks Alex. I'm actually talking about the black center radiator vent grille that goes on top of the front bumper.
But I'm also looking at installing the mesh grilles. So thanks anyway.

I'm pretty sure you have to cut ur bumper to install the GT vent/grill. I thought I saw a writeup on 6speed, may want to search I am sure its on one of these boards. It does look great once installed.

I understand that this affects (increases) lift on the front end if you don't also add the GT3 lip.
