DIY Front Grill Mesh Install
 
Can anyone direct me to a DIY for making and installing Front Grill Mesh for 2001 986 (non S)? I did a search but no results. I have seen chrome kits on ebay but I am looking for the black look on my Slate Grey beauty. Can anyone direct me either to a site to purchase or better yet make these two grills myself? Gracias in advance

I went to Home Depot or Lowes and bought gutter screen in black plastic. Took off bumper and installed with hot melt and mini black wire ties. Total cost less than $10
Good luck

Here is a link to Pedro's Garage DIY for installing a center radiator. Scroll down and you will see a DIY for the mesh. Mine is basically silver metal gutter guard that I installed with some small screws/washers and zip ties.

Thanks for the help but I took a dive in the first round and bought the real shat porsche screens. I could only get them in chrome so they will get a repaint to flat black, should look wicked on my slate grey.:dance:
