Side Intake Question

[panameras]

Hey Guys,

Im thinking of upgrading my side intake vents to 2003 series II, as below

on my 2000 Boxster, the vents are fixed to the car by tabs (on the louvres) which insert into three metal slots plus one screw. The the louvres on the 2003 vents are fixed it seems, so how are they actually attaching to the car?

Thanks

Exactly the same way, based on how you are describing the 2000. I have a 2003 and the grills attach by 3 clips and a screw up through the top edge.

Other than some small lip they added to the front it's not much of an upgrade just a different way they were made.

If you want to paint the whole thing like on the 2003 cars you can just paint the intake you have no need to buy a new one to paint.

where did you find the vents ??

I thought I saw them on Design911 but I cant find where it was now..

I like them + my vents are not fitted correctly for some reason the are not 'clicked in' in the bottom area! :(

my grill or louvres were broken when I did the de snorkel mod so was thinking why not upgrade them to the 2003 look.

Design 911 still has them, just look under aerodynamics for 986.

for some reason my vents are the same, the bottom part felt loose! im pretty sure the clips were inserted correctly.

Thank you..

Do you have to paint them yourself or does Design911 offer that service ?

They are under SpeedArt Body Styling @ Design911, but they cost $ 386.10 / pair.

Those are 132.05 each and a week away from me. Plus 7-10 dollars shipping. Thanks, Jeff.

:renntech:

Edit: Yes you have to get them painted.
