Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

36 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello fellow enthusiasts! We have been around the forum for years and are prototyping our radiator grilles for the 996 911. We are looking for local testers (hopefully to the Chicagoland western suburbs) for testers who will allow us to photograph or video the installation of the radiator grilles on their 996 911 (no 4S or turbo yet). We could also work with shipping, but testing becomes more cumbersome. Please post or PM if interested! Take a look at some of our products www.radiatorgrillstore.com Here they are! Here are the installation instructions for the Porsche 996.2 911 www.radiatorgrillstore.com radiator grilles! Thank you for volunteering! We need 996.1 (Manual and tip) and 996.2 tip volunteers close to Chicago. Here�s the video of the easy install of Porsche 911 996.2 radiator grilles from www.radiatorgrillstore.com You Tube Porsche 996.2 radiator grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 996.2 radiator grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 996.2 radiator grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 718 www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 911 991 After and before picture of Radiator Grille Store Grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 911 997.2 Radiator Grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 981 Cayman and Boxster GTS radiator grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com Porsche 981 Boxster and Cayman Side intake grilles www.radiatorgrillstore.com

POST 2Original post

Wish I was nearby! I have both a 996.1 and a 996.2. One point for you to consider is that the grille openings are different on the 996.1 and the 996.2 carerra. Then you have the Aerokit I and Aerokit II which are also different than the carerra. Plus you have the variants like the turbo/c4s/millenium (which you mentioned) and the GT3 (edit: i am pretty sure this bumper is the same as the Aerokit I and Aerokit II, depending on which generation of GT3: mk I vs mk II). ...and GT2 although that market is pretty tiny. Oh, and the center radiator vs no center depending on model and transmission. Whew.

POST 3Original post

Are you going to do a 996.2 GT3 / Aero ? Center radiator?

POST 4Original post

I’m in the Chicago area and would be a tester. I also need to take off my front bumper to clean the radiators if that helps.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 16071527

That would help! Looking for any 996�s local. I can work with non-locals on the 996.2 (May fit GT3 as well)

POST 7Original post

Do you also test temperature behaviour one on one in similar conditions with or without the grilles. Especially with some slower driving speeds? Just wondering if there is any effect. And if there is one when it comes into play.

POST 8Original post

Well I'm from Germany and own a 996.2 Targa. I would be in as a non local, maybe you are up for establishing your product in europe as well. The targa is fitted with Aerokit etc. Hit me up ;-)

POST 9Original post

I'd be interested,, especially if they were not as overpriced as the other options out there,, was planning on making a set this fall,, but if yours come to light sooner I'll be watching. I have a C4 in Oregon ,,, I'd step up to be a DIY tester especially if you want someone to test a production version.. Cheers Dave
