We have used Zunsport units for years; about 1 min after opening the box, they are on the car, powder coated stainless steel, they hold up very well even after years of use.

Yes if you like to blow money my post is not for you. Zunsports are over $300 for the same thing, but wow they're soooo different. 🙄

What part of my post is not for you do you not understand? There are others that might be interested. I'm not the seller, I've see many posts about people buying mesh and making their own. Great you're cool, you have Zunsports, and 2 cars, so impressive.

We get cars here in the shop with all sorts of "fixes" for the radiator inlets; some look half decent; others look like the car ran into a chicken enclosure and some of the fencing got stuck, which really isn't a good look on these cars. Others, with more expensive commercially available inserts, show signs of rust after only a year or so in the car. So, when customers ask me for a suggestion to protect the inlets from leaf and other debris that don't look tacky or quickly begin to rust, and that they can easily DIY install themselves, we recommend Zunnsport based upon both personal and professional observations. "Cool" never enters into the conversation.................

Okay, so i removed the bumper as part of the radiator cleaning a few weeks ago and cut and glued my own grilles in the process. That's a lot more work, of course, but it's actually the cheapest (!) and not the worst solution. Removable grilles make little sense, imho, because you have to remove the bumper again for a proper radiator cleaning in any case, but only a fraction of debris gets into the radiators after installing the grilles, so no need to do it yearly.
I feel very uncomfortable with the Zunsport price.

Edit: The ones I have are aluminium, powder coated. That makes a difference in price of course. But much more easy to work with.

The radiator vents and engine vents are functioning as intended by Porsche. There is no need to cover them or alter them. Do not stuff meshes in them. Just stop it.
