BumperPlugs.com has color matched side vents for $279 with a core exchange.

there are a couple links on this forum with instructions......I changed the vents on my car with painted vents and went with the cayman version.....I used bumperplugs and I recommend Eric.....the vents look great.....plus you won't have to worry about leaving your car anywhere......

I will tell you taking the vents out is a mega pain in the rear!!!! essentially requires more force than you can ever imagine and a little blind faith that they won't break....and they won't.....no special tools required

I also had my vents done by Eric at Bumperplugs. Great work.

Here's what I did. I had Eric ship the painted vents to the dealership (White Allen Porsche in Dayton, OH) just prior to final delivery. I had the dealership install the vents. They charged my $20 and paid for the return postage for the core exchange to return the unpainted vents to Bumperplugs. When I picked-up the car for final delivery it was done and looked great!

thanks b! you'll notice copied your rims finally too.....I posted the pics awhile back but I think you might have been traveling or taking a 986 break.....

the view dead on takes a bit to warm up to, the other angles are great instantly....hey mike, there was a discussion on the vents on another board and a guy posted his guards 987 with cayman, here is another shot of mine and a preview of yours....maybe.....
