Before some helpful person chimes in with a "Why not buy them from so-and-so pre-made?", The turbo seems to be the ugly stepchild... No vendor was making these for the turbo when I shopped around for them... Anyway...
I managed to damage my turbo splitter, so I figured since i needed to epoxy together some inner fender liner plastics , I figured I'd go ahead and do my own gumper grill screens... Here are some pics in order of installation... Remember, you must remove the following:
Splitter
The inner fender liners
The bumper cover...
The exposed bellows for the three radiators - this is the Driver's side unit.
Starting with the center unit, I punch the first hole in the center of the bellow top lip:
Installing a Ziptie
Starting it thru the mesh:
Triming a bit of the material to fit the grill opening!
Finished material behind the grill with the bumper back in place!

So why instal them into the bellows? It's rubber, will not crack if impacted to hard (Lot's of golfball sized rubber in black and red run groups that travel fast enough to crack epoxy) and is easy to remove and re-install if necessary. Mine have been on the car for quite some time.
It's cake to install these gang. Installing them in the rubber bellows is so easy, takes about two hours, and $50 in materials, along with another $30 in tools...
