Thanks, that's actually something I was wondering about. I'm going to need some sort of parking aid (tight garage, with turns) in the near future and was vaguely considering that route.

I have done the rennline in a few 997.1’s. While I do them I also clean out the radiators and straighten some of the damage to them with a radiator tool. Rennline need attention to the mounting. If you are not careful the front bumper will not be in allignment. Have had zero issues with that product.

Thanks!! I just purchased a set of the Zunsport Grill guards, so I'll need to use this first before install. If I can get my big mits in there to do so.

Well i received the grills and installed them today. I went back and forth with Zunsport on carving out spots for the laser diffuser, but ended up caving because I didn't want to bother moving the jammers, I didn't really want cutouts, and i'm taking a shot in the dark with sidwin's recommendation that they aren't blocked with the grill.
Overall i'm very satisfied with the quality of the product, finish is fantastic, and it really makes the front end look newer, modern and refined compared to the gaping holes that are on the turbo.
Few things to note. Don't tape up the car, put these in carefully. Why? because if you tape up the holes and put the grills on, good luck getting the tape off if the vent is over them. I spent 30 minutes trying to somehow get the tape off that was under the grill. Absolutely a pain in the ***.

Terry,
Mine are mounted behind the grill and works fine up to 200 yards tested last night.
I had a feeling it would work fine. I turn the parking assistance on and even though the grill is a couple of inches away none of the sensors beeped until I put my hand a foot away from the sensor.
I posted a video of it working behind a grill on YouTube.
Thanks - Sid
