Turbo Bumper Ducts (cover)

Turbo Bumper Ducts (cover)

I recently purchased a used aftermarket Turbo Bumper for my 996. The brake ducts have a mesh wire cover which I really don't like. Does anyone know where I can find and purchase those SLAT type covers for the brake ducts Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.

Here is a photo of that I am speaking I found online.

I know you don't like the screens, but consider keeping them on, here's why; they keep most debris out and which will accumulate behind the radiator and in turn start degrading them. Which means you'll have to remove the front bumper at least once a year to clean out the junk and clean the radiator, the slats alow alot of junk to come through, especially small leaves and grasses.
If you still want to go with the slats, they are OEM, you'd have order it to ensure proper figment.

Thank you for that information. I have also been shopping various Porsche junk yards and found an OEM set in Tennessee. I almost fell over when the told me the cost for the used duct covers (slats). Needless to say, I will be using some new screens that I just purchased. Once again, thanks for the advice..
