GMG or Cargraphic sell a great kit that is quality for about $300.

You can order the mesh yourself and install yourself for around $30

Or you could buy the Porsche Motorsport kit from FVD for about $500... same stuff that goes in the cup cars.

Yep, in all cases you need to remove the bumper.

You can buy the materials for crap, but the installation is the tricky part. I put mesh screens in my MA Shaw front bumper (supplied by them) but I had them installed by the local Porsche dealer for a pretty penny. Off the top of my head, it was $500+ but it came out perfectly. The installation is key.

I've taken serious hits in the screens and the center one after 20k miles has one minor dent where I took a big rock or something similar, and it barely dented it.

Yeah my problem with doing this DIY is that I would not be happy with my work. At $500 I would buy the Porsche OE Motorsport screens through FVD and install those.

I think I'm going to take it a shop after the holidays. Read the diy and I don't trust myself removing the wheel since I don't have the proper tools, nor the desire to buy them at the moment. Will be giving GMG a call in the new year
