right on, should help some larger debris/leaves or from going inside blocking the rads.

Although it will also let smaller debris that gets by the screen to be trapped inside behind to grill untill you take the bumper off to clean it out.

It def will help but I think you see what im getting at. The screens will look great & it is a must have.
Enjoy.

Yeah, I learned about these screens on this forum, and then I saw them on a friends 2007 GT3 at the Dec. 3rd Instructor day at Summit Point. I'm sure they'll be helpful, especially for track days.

Bingo! These should have come on every GT3 from Porsche
I recently had a piece of tire thrown up from car in front of me on the highway and these and clear bra saved my front bumper and radiator .... I was amazed at how much damage was done to one of the screens protecting the radiator on one side. Best part - it was easy to straighten the screen almost to perfect after it was crushed in.

Those screens are standard on the .2 GT3s. It was a big miss not putting them on the .1 cars. I am thinking about these screens as well. I see a bunch of crap that has gotten sucked into those radiator caverns and I am a little worried about damage - I can see some dings on my radiators as it is.

I consider those a must as well and puzzled were not included by Porsche in my 996 GT2. I just had them installed by Fabryce at GMG.
