991 engine cover grill upgrade

[scherb]

Has anyone done (DIY) the upgrade from the standard grill to the old school 911 50 look?

I found this online but it's only part 1 of 2

I've seen guys that have done this on Rennlist. Buy the parts from site sponsor Sunset Imports and save $$. Buy the front grill inserts too at the same time to balance the look.

Thanks. I have the engine grill from sunset. Not going for the front grills.  

This guy talks about removing the grill...  I guess its pretty easy.. maybe over thinking this...

^Very nice! GT Silver Metallic? I like the simple "P O R S C H E" badging, too. I have the same, only in satin black from the 991 GT3's.

I love the "50" look. The shiny window trim, the engine grill, and especially the wheels. Not so much the two colors, though...

Thank you! Yes it is the Silver GT color.

I agree. The 50s have lots of nice touches but colors are hit and miss. Still like the car regardless

Nice!

 

A non-sequitur, but the ability to Active-Zoom on a forum is a small but superb improvement. I've been apart of many community and this is the first time I've seen it used!

Sherb - I cannot find this part at sunset auto parts.com.  Do you know the part number?  You said you were able to buy it form them?  Trying to figure out if they sell it for less than suncoast parts.  Thanks!

Do anyone have the part number?
