My Radiator Looks Tacky

Howdy

My porsche is nearing 40k miles and, I want to keep it lookin' young.

But one thing that bugs me is if you look at the car from straight on, and below the headlights, you can see the radiator. And on the radiator you can see where the tiny strips of metal has been bent, much like the back side of an an aged air conditioner.

I believe this is the radiator, I am no car genius.. sorry.

Does anyone know of a way I can cover this up or dress it up somehow?

UPDATE: it looks like I need a radiator screen. Anyone know where I can get one for a 997?

You use a coil comb to straighten the fins. They vary on how many fins per inch.

Check out https://www.zunsport.co.uk/default.asp I installed this on my 997.1. Straightforward install, no need to remove bumper. Looks great and protects radiator.
