I have Zunsport due to ease of installation and removal to vacuum out dirt and debris every few months. The RGS grills look more OEM and are less expensive. I think the RGS installation and removal is more time consuming and requires zip ties.

BTW, another safety mod is the Frunk lid liner. It looks OEM and is a 30 second install.

Thanks for the reminder Larry. I probably need to quit procrastinating and get the lid liner.

Regarding the grills, being able to remove them easily would be a paramount consideration in my opinion. The grills in the GT4 cannot be removed and that's unfortunate. The only way to thoroughly get to the areas in front of the radiators is to drop the bumper - something I'm not going to do. Therefore, I have to settle for compressed air, water or whatever else I can do to get out as much of the debris as possible.

I prefer the looks of RGS grills behind the slats and have them all the way around on our BGTS. I had also installed a full set on our now departed BS.

The RGS grills installed on our BGTS are behind the bumper in such a way that no zip ties can be seen. Seriously, I just spent 5 minutes using a flashlight with my eyes 4" from the grill peering from every possible angle and the zip ties were not visible in any way.

Good to know because that makes them as easy to remove as the Zunsports for cleaning the areas behind the grills. :thumbup:

And the RGS grills look better and more like the OEM grills on GT cars👍🏻

Ok great thanks! I def need to get one of these. It sounds like most people get these just for the looks. (Frunk liner)... Makes the frunk hood have a more finished look.

Sometimes I feel that Porsche is like the best quality jig saw puzzle with one piece missing.🫤
