After seeing the discussion on here I bought a set of the GT3 (non-RS) ducts from Suncoast for my '99 Boxster for about $30 and installed them this past weekend. Took less than an hour, including a little cleanup. Remove your front wheels first. You might want to do a bit of de-greasing/cleanup so you can see what you're doing. Then you remove the old ducts by "unbuckling" the two tabs holding them onto the lower suspension arm -- I used a large screwdriver blade as a lever to unlatch the tabs. It's a bit hard to describe, but there's one part of the tab that goes over the arm and has a hook, the other tab under the arm is an open loop that the upper hooked tab fits into. When you unlatch the two hooks, you can bend the plastic tabs back, and work the duct off of the lower arm. towards the front of the car. Observe how it comes off, as this is the same way you install the new one. Be careful not to break any of the tabs off. The new ducts are a bit bigger and stick down much more than the OEM Boxster ducts. Next time I make it to the track we'll see how much improvement they make in reducing brake fade.
