Mesh grilles
Hi, all.
I have had one complaint about my Panamera Turbo and that is the amount of debris that gets caught in the front grilles...between the slats. The leaves, etc... just pile up. However, I saw some great grilles that a friend put on his new 991 and did the same. Here is a photo of the grilles. Nobody I could find makes stock grilles so I had some custom made by my body shop. They look silver in the photo but are actually gloss black in person. Originally I was hoping to have the side grilles replace the horizontal slats but it seems they hold up the driving lights, so needed to keep them intact. The center section worked out fine without, but needed the 2 vertical slats to hold it up, but are harder to see. No more leaves, and have gotten a ton of compliments. I really like it, and it is practical.

Actually looks surprisingly good. I would,however, extend it to the fog light section,so the theme continues throughout the front. Cant the fogs really be suspended somehow?

I don't think there would be any restriction in air flow...probably less restriction than all the crap that gets in there (leaves, etc...)...unfortunately, we couldn't come up with any solution on the sides to get rid of the supports so had to leave them. I think it looks pretty good in the end. The middle section is my favorite, and looks a lot cleaner to me. I really like this modification.
