Since it's been cleaned out, have you noticed any difference in the final oil temp (especially during prolonged low speed or stop-n-go traffic), or the rate it which it rises (during engine warm-up) or falls (after running hard)?

+2 on Zunsport! A little pricey but no bumper removal, well made and can be taken on and off anytime.

Is there any US suppliers?

The price aint so bad, the rennline one is over 200 and u need to remove the bumper.

I checked with that ebay 20 guy but it looks cheap.

If this one yu all are talking about fits 997.1 without bumper removal im in.

The cost pays for itself. I had 80% of my radiator covered in
crap

This is the best I have with me - if you zoom in, you can see the cable ties before I trimmed them. The YouTube video also shows some good shots. The hardest pet was removing the vertical slats, but the overall project cost was less than $10. I left them with the silver finish as I liked the look.

Only ships from the UK but I received the product in about 3-4 days max to Canada so shipping is quick!

FYI, i kust completed a 3rd radiator and rock guard install. Spend $199 on radiator kit and $12 on gutter guard screens for the rock guards. https://www.guttersupply.com/p-gutte...-lock-on.gstml I purchased two (2) 8x48 screens Black Steel which I believe was a perfect fit for my Arctic Silver ride. I will share a couple of pics tonight.

Ordered a few sets last year; delivered by Express service within 4 days from UK to South Korea. Some say they are a bit expensive but it is plug and play and no messing around with tie raps. They come with clips which work fine. I have mine plastidipped grey as I did not like black nor the stainless steel for the 4S. People ordering get the 15% off mentioned in previous post.

On the pricier side, Rennline is another option. Did mine 18 months ago when an X51 kit was installed that includes the 3rd radiator upfront for M6 cars. Here you can see crap collected after just a 1 hour drive in the tropics:
