I run mine open, monitor any debris and drop the front clip for clean outs as necessary on my 996 aero.

FWIW I added my own rad grills using black mesh designed to keep leaves out of rain gutters.

Also for the lip spoiler the gt3 lip is specific and available through porsche but if u want to save a few $ Demonspeed makes a nice repro of the cup splitter and it will use the factory aero holes.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi I�m getting an aerokit front bumper painted/installed on my 02 boxster S. Realized the grill from my original bumper was gone. Anyone have the part #? Is there no difference with the standard bumper cover?
also do I need an aero specific lip/spoiler?
thanks in advance.
Thats fine but 996 bumpers dont and never came with grills. Hopefully u can match what u have because there r several aftermarket vendors that produce them. Maybe post a pic of the other side and someone may recognise it?
Also for the lip spoiler the gt3 lip is specific and available through porsche but if u want to save a few $ Demonspeed makes a nice repro of the cup splitter and it will use the factory aero holes.
so nothing blocks debris at all? Yeah I guess my millennium doesn�t have any you�re right lol. That makes it easy I guess!
awesome thanks man, any chance you have a link? Guessing the splitter can be easily installed after paint work?
Mine in action although i have a mk1. It works but its not perfect.The aerokit bumpers r predrilled. Factory hardware is a push pin but i used bolts, nuts ams fender washers.

They have a track quality one too thats $30 cheaper. The material is softer so it folds in half for shipping but the finish is not as good.
Oh yea the 996/911 probably doesnt have screens because the extra power of our cars makes more heat and the sceens can restrict airdlow. This raises oil temps and can lead to bearing wear. Its common practice for us to pull the bumper once a year and clean.
FWIW I added my own rad grills using black mesh designed to keep leaves out of rain gutters. Cheap and easy, just cut and glue them in with construction adhesive. They do keep the big chunks out and protect the rads from stone damage with minimal effect on airflow. The rads still accumulate flotsam so I tend to pull the nose annually and do a quick cleanout.
yea last weekend at watkin glen. Thats the "bus stop" and u have to murder the curbing so the wheel will lift. I may have to loosen the front sway a little too.
Dave, I’d probably just eliminate the inserts if you’re up for it, and bring it back to oem form before paint. There’s lots of debate on airflow concerns with the inserts floating around on RL.
I run mine open, monitor any debris and drop the front clip for clean outs as necessary on my 996 aero. This along with a healthy cooling system with a proper functioning water pump and low temp thermostat, has allowed me to never have over heating concerns. Not exactly fun with the upkeep cleaning the debris though.
@De Jeeper
your car is insane, let me know if you ever want to part with it- I’ve enjoyed reading about your journey with the build process.
