What’s funny about that picture is it doesn’t really depict how beautiful that graphite blue leather is it almost looks black in the picture…

@Treemagnet ... not sure if you thought the same as me, but when I got mine finished by @Crazy Eddie my first thought was...."Hmm, what else can I get this guy to do"

Making your car your own is what it's all about

My first mods!!

Part 1. Apparently you can only post 9 pix max ...

The ppf is mostly done. Austin Film Solutions gave me permission to install Zunsport grill guards at the front radiator intakes, and Radiator Grille Store guards at the side intakes. Nerve wracking. I've never done anything like this -- though I did spend one summer in my early 20s turning a 67 Chevy into a bondo bucket to fill the rusted flow-through ventilation. With a special thanks to Angel and Camden for checking my work as they inspected the ppf install. And Angel shot the video.

Zunsport box as it arrived. Dinged.

Zunsport uses clips. Other grilles use zip ties or require you to remove the front bumper. Clips looked easier. You need a narrow flat head screw driver to push them into position to clip onto the black radiator trim, and a lot of bright lights to see the clip as you work it.

The Zunsport grilles come with clips on the right and left side. Other grilles from other vendors use zip ties or require you to remove the nose from the car. Clips sounded easier.

Second clip on the other side of the grille.

Zunsport instructions. There are several videos online. Watch them. Watch again.

Left front done. It took a while. I was N E R V O U S. You need bright lights to see the clips and how they catch the back of the black plastic from Porsche. You also need a narrow flat-head screwdriver that fits between the grid of the grille mesh.

right front grille installed.

Hey, great job, they look great!

Now that you have tackled that one.... what's next?

part 2. My first mod.

Moving to the intake grilles ...


RGS includes a coozie. Hope that's spelled correctly.


The RGS grilles are curved or folded up at the edges. After test fitting, I decided that the folded/curved area needed to point to the nose of the car, so that it would tuck into the back of the Porsche intake. It's NOT a tight fit. The grille will slide around as you try to mount it. You need a pick tool to help hold it in position. Pick tool will be part of a photo below.


I started with the driver's side. Every video says to tape the paint and body work. I did. Glad I did. This job requires trim removal tools, prying, and force. And you don't get to hear the snap as the intake release unless you force that intake out by brute muscle, with pry bars holding the intake free of the bodywork.


Driver's side grille installed.


There are clips at the back of the intake. Don't pry these. Instead, there are three clips at the front side of the intake. This is where you take several deep breaths, use multiple layers of tape to protect the paint.




Two of three trim removal tools I used in position. Third in my hand. Hooked pick tool below the car.


Passenger side done.

I've got a short video of removing the driver's side intake, but can't figure out what format Carpokes needs.
I hope the pix show up in the correct sequence ...
