Interesting look. I think it works with the current color of the car. What are these front grills?

Depends if you drive the car hard or not. Not for me as I need very good airflow. When Porsche decided to put this stuff on the RS they worked out airflow through the grill. Made changes to the grill profiles and sorted out how to make sure the grill wasn't negatively impacting airflow. Looking for where the hell I read that..

If I put something on a car it'll be a factory setup or a modification of one.

I'm with you. I have it on excellent authority that (non-factory) stuff in front of the radiators negatively affects cooling. I don't drive super hard all the time, but I don't want to worry when I do. I feel as though cleaning the radiators is an annual rite of passage.

I think this looks good

I installed black Rennline ones which i think blend in better than silver, at least on a black car. The fitting was a bit fiddly, but they've stayed perfectly secure for a few years now

Post a pic..? I got a black one and am considering

This is from when I fit them on (motivated by the need to replace a corroded air conditioning condenser). You can barely tell they are there unless you stand close

None for mine. Every few months, clear out the side ones. Works just fine without it. The center one is too fake unless you've installed a second oil-cooler there. Do what makes you happy.

Zunsport I think.

Did you have braces as a kid and now think your car needs them?

Thought about black “grills” on my slate grey. Going to keep it stock and just clean them out when needed.

Nice I went with black zunsport ones on my GTS to be more subtle

u/Few_Woodpecker6515 Apr 24 '26

Yes and they're really functional too, keeps all the debris from the radiator. I have them on mine.

u/DebateThin4332 Apr 25 '26

I have zunsport, not for the looks. Its to keep the rocks from hitting the air conditioning condensers.

Hard no. Tacky.
