Rear speaker grill

[RėL]

Hello;

I've been looking to purchase some original rear speaker grills for my '84 Targa. Like many other 911, the original speaker grills got removed to put bigger audio system.

I found some originals but now the seller tells me they only fit '86 to '89 models.

Here's what I'm talking about:



Can anyone confirm that Porsche had different size design from '84 to '89? Because the PET have the same part number through those years.

Thanks!

I suggest you use the search function. There are excellent reproduction grilles available. New ones are NLA, and used ones are very expensive.
Good luck,
Dave

I have a 1985 Targa and mine looked exactly like that.

My originals had deteriorated and were cracked. I purchased from someone on PP (Matt Kellett?) a set of new surrounds that looked great and were the original size. I popped in my old mesh grills and everything looked close to stock (they New surrounds have "Porsche" tastefully etched on them).

I just bookmarked a recent thread with Matt's frames.

Mine look just like that - 84 Targa.

Agreed. My '84 coupe had the exact same grilles. I removed them because they were severely deteriorated/deformed.

Thanks you all for your replies.
So we can agree that the grills are the same through 84' to 89'?

I too have a set of Matt's repro surrounds with the Porsche etched into them. Matt's
work product is perfect and much higher quality than originals. Resist the temptation
to buy any old, expensive original grills as they will soon fall apart too! Get a set from Matt Kellett! By the way, Matt had to stop etching Porsche into his product, probably to avoid copyright problems.
