thanks for posting this. I've been searching for something too ever since the inspection said it needed to be cleaned out. I vacuumed as best I could but those radiators are like two little vacuums in front of the car sucking up everything on the road, and I've read that debris can cause the radiators to deteriorate and rot out if left alone.

I've searched online, but ebay and websites just show the finished product, they don't show what you get in the mail, and i'm afraid they would charge $85+ to send a $10 roll of gutter guard with instructions on how to trim it myself Shame because I'd gladly spend $50+ for a real grill mesh that just hooked into place somehow.

Guess I'll make this a weekend project sometime

I used metal gutter guard from Menards.

DO NOT BUY FROM porschemesh.com

DO NOT BUY FROM porschemesh.com

For $80+ they mail you two pieces of $1 mesh and instructions to zip tie them in place. Below are screenshots from their own instruction manual. Sure, I want zip ties holding my PORSCHE together #ghettofabulous

this is exactly what I was afraid of, paying $40-$100 on ebay or online and getting two squares of mesh and zip ties glad these idiots are dumb enough to put the instructions online instead of spending 10 cents printing and mailing 5 pages so everyone can either do the same thing for free or NOT order from them because they don't want zip ties holding parts on their $60,000 sports car

If you're looking for real quality you can't go wrong with Zunsport grilles, I just I installed them on my 997, here's a thread about them: Zunsport Grilles - Rennlist Discussion Forums
