- A rather involved install. Had to cut the grills Rennline claimed were the correct fit for the car. They were not. However thrilled with the final fit and they look factory.

Very beautiful. And very professionally executed too. Bravo.
Thanks!
Great video, very clear and easy to follow.
J F4444 thank you!!
Thanks for the video i bought mine for my 997 4s...looks awesome..
Plant-Based MD awesome! They sure do finish off the front.
For the money that you paid for those they should fit perfectly without trimming. Shame on Rennline.
Michael Fonseca agreed!
Great video. Keeps the leaves and debris from getting in and blocking airflow.
Thanks! Looks great too. Looks like Porsche should have done this.
@@bobbygfl After watching what you had to go through (and pay full price) I'm going to order some Carbon Fiber Mess and try making my own

@@Foxtrot1967 oh wow. I hope you make a video. That looks very cool. And agreed. This was ridiculous. The fact that they maintain their position that they fit out of the box is amazing.
@@bobbygfl In your opinion, what was the best mod you made to your 911. I know that's like asking what your favorite song or band is but since you've done most all of the great mods, it would nice to hear it directly from a real-life consumer standpoint
@@Foxtrot1967 I have been planning a 50 things to do to your 911 video. I really need to do that video. I have all 50 things written out I just need to shoot a video. Anyway I think of all the things that I’ve done, my favorite has to do the exhaust because I love the way the car sounds. The other mod is the auto top thing. “Smart top” I love that thing and use it all the time. Thanks for the comment.
Just wondering what year and model of 911 you are working on. Different from my 991.1. Pretty bad that you have to cut grills that are supposed to be a perfect fit, especially at what they charge for them.
It’s a 2013 C4s cab. They offered a few different front bumpers for the car. And yes, they came out great and have held up perfectly but the fit was joke out of the box. Worse part is they told me I was wrong. Thanks for the comment.
I have a similar 911
Do you know how to reprogramme the front headlights?
After I returned the bumper and head lights, I get yellow text messages " headlight adjustment defective) or something like that.
Omar Malaika I have never had an error code from removing the headlights. But I did get and error message like you are describing on one of the blinkers. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and the warning went away. Try that.

I will try it as soon as I go back home and I will let you know
I tried removing and reinstalling them few times, unfortunately NO CHANGE.
When I start the vehicle, headlights swivels and take there position and the I get the message " headlight beam adjustment defective".
Omar Malaika you may need to clear the code and they are actually fine. Get this. There’s a option to clear the headlight code. iCarsoft POR-II Porsche OBD-II Scanner Tool Multi-systems ABS SRS (POR II) www.amazon.com/dp/B011DKBXBK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UOnFDbDRAKMVG
Mine turned out the same way. Looked great, but I'd love to see how you got the bumper went back on. I found that the new screens interfered with the air dams and the ability to reattached the bumper. Anyone else?
Yes, I had the same problem if I remember correctly, some of the sleeves did not want to slide in around the screen. Check out my playlist probably the radiator video. Think I might have some footage on putting the bumper on and off.
I received my box of rennline grills and have been procrastinating due to the last step of putting bumper back on with sandwiching the grill. That must have been tricky!
It wasn’t difficult. From what I recall it went right back together no problem.
I’m with you I don’t know how Rennline says it’s the right part. Not only that, but for $325 I didn’t expect to do anything outside of what it already takes to get to the installation point.
Nice work!
I found some nice gloss black screens at Lowes, which I'll just template and cut (essentially like Rennline has made you do). I agree with you - someone probably packed the wrong item and in turn gave you a little extra *&!#! "homework".
I totally agree. Total waste of money however they do look good
@@bobbygfl meant to thank you btw - I was on the fence about a 3rd radiator for my 997.1 and your video is excellent inspiration
@@DeltaCharlie27 thank you!
Hello
when you modify or buy, say where you can get it.
Thank you
These came from Rennsport
That's pretty jacked you had to trim that so much. You could've just bought some aluminum mesh, painted it black and, cut it yourself. ugh
Toby Grantham yes you’re totally right. Believe me I was pissed. And they still maintain that they fit perfectly right out of the box. The only silver lining is they are powder coated which is more durable than paint. They do fit like a glove now that I cut and shaped them so I’m very happy with the end result but paying full price for something that I had to do so much work to is a sore spot LOL. Thanks for the comment.
This is NOT how it goes. I ordered grill for my 991.1 GTS and they fit perfect. There is no cutting or reshaping. Something is not right here--- wrong part, damaged in shipment.
Agreed. I love them now. They look perfectly custom. But I feel like they sent the wrong ones.
Dude Just get Zunsport 15 to 30 minute install without removal of the bumper. Rennline looks like drama.
Yeah they totally look factory GT3ish but nightmare to install as far as I’m concerned.
Surely this restricts airflow.........
Not at all
