Default Radiator grill guards?

Anyone found a source for grill guards (2023 GTS Sport Turismo). I’m finding nothing on the usual sites like Rennline, Pelican, Zunsport, etc.
Cheers
Jeff

Zunsport does not show their grills fitting a GTS but they do. Installed a set on my GTS and am quite happy with the quality and fit. If in doubt send them an email. Very quick to respond.

I can’t remember but if there are heat exchangers behind those grills, they’ll save you a lot of money should they stop a rock puncturing a radiator.

Of course there’s also aesthetics.

Keep debris like rocks from damaging your radiators. More important for some people depending on the roads and their driving habits. Especially important for people that track their cars and follow close behind other track cars with sticky tires that are more prone to throwing up rocks. Lots of people are just extra cautious on the street. Some people also don’t like digging in there to clean out leaves, and the grill guards help with that too.

Purchasable from Zunnsport via Amazon here. Far from cheap but the consequences of one rock blowing a hole in a heat exchanger would be far, far worse. And for those who are thinking about aesthetics, over time a ton of rock impacts of any size can collectively bent the fragile exchanger fins and make them look terrible.

They will definitely be in my “Mod Closet” awaiting its arrival; as I do with all my cars with vulnerable low slung front heat exchangers (some prefer them called “radiators” or “condensers”), they will be installed its first night home in my garage.

Driving in Range mode keeps all debris out.
