Center grill mesh and maybe a mod ...

'07 Cayman S with the Zun Sport style mesh radiator grills.

Now the center grill has my attention . A non functioning grill just bugs me
So , I have some options.

1. Get the Zun Sport center and call it a day
2. Make a center grill myself ( I have found the same material and neopream edging)
Neither of these make it functioning ... but at least will hide that fact a bit

3. I know about the 3rd radiator and really dont think I NEED to do that ... but it would at least make it functioning (then one of the grills above.)

4. I have seen the info in building brake ducts into that grill . (I like that , but I have never had fade even on DEs ) (again adding the grill )

5. and this is where I am leaning .
to modify the center grill "cup" to direct that air to the radiators on both sides.
Looking at other models at this is done. seem simple enough ... by opening the side of the "cup" and ducting or blocking off behind that . I work with ABS a bit and have done several brake duct projects on other cars .. seems simple enough / now functional / and then finish with the grill. Couldn't hurt to pass more air over the rad ...

my thought


This used on the 996 ... Could cut that "cup" and graft onto the side


Any thoughts ? input ?
