996TT Grill Screen DIY
Compliments of Mikelly @ www.renntrack.com
I managed to damage my turbo splitter, so I figured since i needed to epoxy together some inner fender liner plastics (until my new bumper cover I bought last year is painted), I figured I'd go ahead and do my own gumper grill screens... Here are some pics in order of installation... Remember, you must remove the following:
Splitter (which I managed to remove by clipping it pulling into a grassy area to park at my Sisters)
The inner fender liners
The bumper cover...
The exposed bellows for the three radiators - this is the Driver's side unit.
Starting with the center unit, I punch the first hole in the center of the bellow top lip:
Installing a Ziptie
Starting it thru the mesh:
Triming a bit of the material to fit the grill opening!
Center Bellows without screen installed...
Finished material behind the grill with the bumper back in place!
It's cake to install these gang. Installing them in the rubber bellows is so easy, takes about two hours, and $50 in materials, along with another $30 in tools...
The reason I didn't epoxy the mesh to the bumper and mounted it in the rubber of the bellows is simple. Epoxy can crack and release its hold over time. I didn't want anything that would require more attention later and also wanted something that would not rattle. The mesh is mounted in the rubber and doesn't make a sound. I'll use aluminum safety wire on the next one I do...
