What do you think of a grill with vertical slats for the older cars? Something like this:


I also like what you have as well, reduced weight.

mesh grille

I just got some grilles back from the powder-coater and in this batch is an alternative to my perf grilles......very cool, mesh-type front horn grilles and a mesh engine lid grille. The pix do not do them justice.....

regards,
al

Nice grills!

Hi Al,
I received my grill and it looks great! I have 88 turbo front bumper cover and rubber valence on the car and I would like to have the same type grills made for the fog light holes (no lights). Is this something you can do and if so how much $$ would they cost?

Shawn,
Nice 911 and excellent install job on the grille. I've emailed you regarding the fog-light grilles.

I've done some for early 911s and a similar approach can be used for your valence.

al

Hey Al,

Thanks for responding to my email about the status of my grille earlier this week. Can't wait for it to arrive. Kind of like Shawn's question, can you let me know about the availability of extra perf. metal to fit a Porsche Punx replacement for my rear reflector? I can send dimensions, if needed. Thanks.

Jeff

Carrera fogs

Also working on some Carrera fog light grilles. The protos were just shipped to the beta tester (Shawn) for verification of fit and finish.

Hello Al,

I'm interested in the Carrera fog light grilles as well - please let me know if/when in production.

Will do. The early 911 fog light openings are tapered and can be mounted using the same method as stock covers (see the stock, yellow covers above), but the Carrera openings are not tapered and do not have a lip, so I had to come up with a method of mounting them off of the fog light bracket. Shaun sent me pix, dimensions and a cardboard template ,so I should be good (or close) on size. He can then verify sizing and mounting arrangement and I'll make any required changes and away we go. ...........

al
