  1. I just talked to the people at DICE and supposedly the Porsche MOST adapter will be available May 1st. The suggested retail is $399.99. They are taking pre-orders, (contact information only - no CC info), and are supposed to notify us when the unit is available. Hopefully it will work better than my current fm transmitter, (DLO Trans Pod G2).
  2. Thanks mbodo. I'm sure that the faux aluminum look can be duplicated by a good painter for those of you who prefer. For those looking for the chrome look, I saw an interesting paint technic applied a couple of weeks ago on an episode of the TLC program 'Rides'. They were building another hot rod for ZZ Top's lead guitarist, Billy Gibbons, and painted the roof of the car to look like chrome. Its a process where they lay down a black gloss base coat and then overlay it with some sort of reflective coat which makes it look just like chrome. For those who like that look, its another option.
  3. Here's another variation on the subject of the 987 side vent removal/replacement. I "de-snorkeled" my '05 Boxster and at the sametime swapped out the 987 vents for the new Cayman style. To install the Cayman vents on the 987, you must also replace the vent frames with the Cayman's parts on both sides. The Cayman vents are ~ $48 each and the frames are also ~ $48 each. I paid another $150 to have them painted body color. Here's a side-by-side of the 987 vs the Cayman vent frames. Note the slightly different design and mounting tabs for the Cayman vents. Cayman vent painted body color. To prevent debris from entering the intake I covered the end of the snorkel tube with black plastic gutter guard from Home Depot and a couple of black tie-wraps. Simple and effective. No cutting and gluing necessary. In addition all of the original parts are still intact to swap it back to stock if desired. Here's the finished product. I really like the look of these vents better than the originals. It looks more integrated and follows the cut line of the doors better.
