Hi there,

The grilles can be replaced, but it's a bumper off job to do it as they clip in from behind.
If you're in there, well worth fitting aluminium mesh at the same time to prevent leaves from finding a home!!

Next mod for me is the mesh grills. I found a local guy here in my area that can get them done. He hasn't done any 911's yet, Caymen's but not mine.

So he agreed to do mine and will post pictures when done. I'm expecting to do it at the end of this month. Bumper has to come off for it..but I'm sure it's going to look sweet.

RaidersR1,

Why don't you install the Zunsport grilles yourself? They don't require the bumper to be removed and all you need is a screwdriver and drill. Do a search for my earlier DIY thread, if you're interested.

I may consider these, but I goofed and bumped my car in the garage and snapped the clips that hold the center plastic piece. Just the 3left side ones...so while the bumper is off..I was going to get that repaired.

My rear bumperetts are in need of work too...so while body shop had car...figured get it all done.

Thanks for the help!

Jeff
