Front bumper mesh

Hi guys where can I buy mesh kits for the 997.1 front bumper?

I want to be able to install them without having to take the bumper off.

Also looking for black mesh.

I was under the impression they clip in too. Search Zunsport on the forum. I know several members have installed these.

I have the Zunsport grills in my 08 4S Midnight Blue and they do have one drilled hole that when installed is not visible. The grills to not have a logo. They are easy to install and they look great when in place.

Front bumper mesh

Alternatively, try the grille shown in this video. I made and installed some for about $5 and seem to have worked ok.

I was told by a shop that the type of mesh you use is important because it needs to be designed to flow in air at high speeds. they said a lot of the straight mesh sold for other uses essentially become a solid wall at high wind speeds as the wind just smacks it and deflects off of it.


to see what actually works you might first look at factory oem mesh on the .2 gt3.


the wires I believe are woven over and under each and wires are rather thin.

997.1 zunsport

I purchased direct from Zunsport in UK on Sat and delivered to S. cal on Thusday. Great service and easy to install. Center grill has 2 pilot holes on bottom to drill. Right and left upper grills have one pilot hole to drill. Great quality product and looks factory like. The send you a bolt on emblem if you want to install. You will be pleased with look!
