New Radiator Grilles?
So, my '04 986 has these two little plastic slats covering up each of the two radiators. These little suckers are pretty flimsy and they flop around at freeway speed.
I pointed this out to the dealer and they said "ya, that's normal."
They've got to go, they're driving me crazy. Does anyone have pointers for aftermarket covers? I found a site that sells some REAR mesh covers but nothing for the front.
Pointers and pictures of options much appreciated!!

Front grill options
Cheap way: Go to Home Depot and find some gutter mesh. You can cut it to fit the openings-looks good, I'll try to find a picture from the 99 I had.
(Painting the plastic grills seemed impossibly time consuming.)
Expensive way: Upgrade the whole front nose to the 996 facia.
