I got a very good price, and I'm pleased with the car--but I can't find the two separate grilles to fit the radiator intakes. I bought the Porsche grilles for a '97 986, but they aren't even close to fitting. I then bought a one-piece 996 insert...also wrong. Look for these items to be offered soon in the Classifieds on this Forum.
In addition to the two horizontal slots and two lower vertical slots, there is a single slot on the top for mounting tabs.
Any help would be appreciated!

That's an '03/04 bumper cover.
Behind those holes there should be a "bucket" of sorts, that the rest sort of rides-in. Yours is missing.
I'd be surprised if you found them used, without buying the bumper cover, honestly. They aren't really designed to come out well. When I removed mine, I had to get the heat gun out and deform the tabs, and same process to put them back in.
Here they are new from our host:
