Just removing stuff doesn't equal creativity or styling skill.

Boxster base grilles were originally black, most biodegraded to gray by now. S grilles were painted titanium silver and may still look like new.

Since this topic came up. How do you remove the grills or vents for painting, does the bumper have to be removed? Mine do look grey and I want to repaint them. What's the correct black color, a satin finish? I probably won't do it until spring, but I was just curious.

Thanks Guys!!!! Now what was once a beautiful picture has become the stuff of nightmares! Now I will wake up in a cold sweat wondering if I should remove my grills so I can stop and remove all those leaves every 5 minutes that my car has been hoovering up!! LOL

That's my car so I can tell you that it has the stock grills in there. They are painted black so you can't really see them. With that being said if you look close there is a leaf stuck in the passenger side. No matter what grill or lack of grill you go with. I would recommend taking the bumper off at least once a year to clean out the radiators.

Yes, you need to remove the bumper to remove the grills.

When I cleaned my radiators, they were clogged by leaves and insects, I really don't think the two slats stop a lot going in.

Thanks for the reply, and in response to the last question, my bumper is stock and only has the 2 vents also and it's a 99.
