So I finally got the courage to install the gt3 grill on my Cayman which I have owned for oh about a month in a half if that . Anyway the whole install has been pretty straight forward. I ordered grill from Suncoast Porsche arrived in 2 days and only $29+sh. Next I bought a new dremal for $64.99 and safety glasses ( A MUST HAVE) along with epoxy.

1.Tape the front bumper.
2.Measure and measure again
3.Tape down grill and trace on tape
4.Dremal and dremal some more and more and more and more
5.Paint silver accident bumper bar that is now exposed beneath grille
6.Epoxy and enjoy

 

Looks good! And you make it look simple. Post a picture of the final result if you can.

 

Eric thanks for the quick shipping etc I will try and get a finished pic after work today.

 

I did this exacy DIY n my old bumper ..worked perfect !! was easier then I thought good luck

 

looks good so far....great job....I 'd used a jigsaw to cut mine & a dremel(very handy)to smooth out the edges...looking foward to see it when done..

 

Just my 2 cents for future reference, save the money for the dremel, all you need is a good box cutter, the pumber cuts like butter and you end up with a straight line, that is if you can follow the tape.

 

Thanks for the kind words guys and interesting I thought the dremal was the smart choice I wish I thought of the box cutter idea and saved a few dollars. Are the 987s the only guys really doing this mod I have yet to see it on a 996 or 997 base yet.

 

I don't think it would flow with the 996/986 lines very well. Although it should look spiffy on some 997's.

looks great by the way

 

The grill, unfortunately, will only fit the 9x7 bumpers. Yes, they give the Boxsters a more grown-up look.

 

I agree with the 986 look thats why It did mine this way, BTW they are not done yet, install stainless screen underneath

 

Pic of it all finished up I know I placed the grill slightly lower on the bumper then I should have but oh well.

 

Lookin good, nice wheels too!

 

Thanks Eric

 

Looks great! I'm also running black rims on black and I think you've motivated me to give the grill a shot...

 

My car is macadamia Hard to tell from the pics but I wouldnt hesitate doing this mod if my car was black for one second.
