check with rennline, I know they have radiator guard screens for GT3, also, I bought mine form a company in the UK, easy to deal with, did it on-line, arrived shortly thereafter, well done product, good quality, won't effect air intake, you can get in silver or black, very simple install, drill one tiny hole in the bumper cover...I was a bit freaked out for a split second, no one would ever know of see it, never looked back, saves me from removing the bumper cover, too.........GL

I just replaced my stock radiators with some really nice racing ones and I was wondering if anyone knew of some type of screen covers or something that plugs into the opening at the front clip that would help sheild the new radiators from getting cluttered with road stuff, small gravels ect.?

The part I like about going this route is that in their description, it says "Unlike most kits on the market, Rennline’s has a unique screw and clip system that eliminates the need to glue, drill, or use exposed hardware.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just replaced my stock radiators with some really nice racing ones and I was wondering if anyone knew of some type of screen covers or something that plugs into the opening at the front clip that would help sheild the new radiators from getting cluttered with road stuff, small gravels ect.? I have looked a little around but haven't found anything that looks nice and is effecient. Thanks in advance, John

POST 3Original post

Please don't screw home depot gutter guard to your 911. That's strictly for boy racers. Muhahaha.

POST 4Original post

See link below. Rennline makes some mesh grills that are what you're looking for. Kinda pricey for what they are, but I'm leaning towards doing a set on my car as well. http://www.rennline.com/Bumper-Parts/products/1007/ The part I like about going this route is that in their description, it says "Unlike most kits on the market, Rennline’s has a unique screw and clip system that eliminates the need to glue, drill, or use exposed hardware. Every screen is pre-molded for your specific model resulting in a perfect fit every time."

Doesn't it include WD-40? Sorry. I couldn't resist. I tried, but I couldn't.

POST 6Original post

Well, according to the flowchart it should include at least some duct tape.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 12328376

This is what I did John. Cost $5 not $300 if you buy them already made to fit. Easy DIY if you have a couple of hours to spare. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ir-scoops.html BTW John they have not tarnished and have been in place a year or so.

POST 8Original post

You are blocking to flow to the radiators by installing a mesh.

POST 9Original post

Quotes source post: 12329434

As wide as that mesh is (in Hurdi's post)? No you're not unless you get something big stuck on it (e.g. plastic bag), but then that would otherwise be covering your radiator anyway so it just makes the blockage easier to see/fix.

POST 10Original post

IMHO the Home Depot mesh size is a little small -Imo000 may have a point? If the issue is of interest,suggest you inspect the grille mesh size on a mid 90's Jaguar XJR and emulate that. It is easy to find stainless steel mesh in that size from McMaster Carr or Ebay. Moss Motors Miata actually have some airflow data for different grille mesh sizes. http://www.minagallery.com/jaguar-xj...rille-inserts/

POST 12Original post

Any reputable Porsche race shop will do this for you. I have screens on both side radiators and on the 3 bumper openings on my car car.

POST 13Original post

IIRC, I think the company is called Zunnsport, in the UK. GL

POST 14Original post

You can get mesh in various sizes and finishes from customcargrills.com ... I actually bought some but decided that the Zunsport grills would look better, so I bought those. If you go with Zunsport, tell them you heard about them on Rennlist and ask for a discount.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the great input guys, its amazing how many things you can find to do to a perfectly fit car!!! Don't you just love it! Thanks, John

POST 16Original post

You already have radiator guards. They are called A/C condensers and block off way more air than some mesh in the bumper. Unless you did an A/C delete when you installed the new radiators, you're covered
