a black car might get away with it at a push

I'm a big fan of OEM parts just as much as the next guy but the carbon fiber side air intakes are pretty awesome. I recently added them to my Ebay store and kept one for myself because I liked it so much.

My originals were color matched to the vehicle. It's a white car and I always thought it looked pretty good the way it was. Never really intended to change them out but I must admit I like the carbon fiber ones a lot better. It looks pretty aggressive if you get a chance to see one in person.

I attached pics with it installed, and also the white ones I had on before. Anyways, everyone is entitled to an opinion and I think it's great otherwise we all have the same Boxsters Happy driving!

Very nice looking How much do they run $ ? I want a set for my 98

Those are sweet! I think the color matched on the 986 look bette than the silver on the 987, but I love anything carbon fiber. Don't know if they'd be noticeable on my midnight blue except up close, though.

I painted my intake grills arctic silver...nice contrast to my black car IMO.

Hey dmcutter,

If you need the contrast, you may want to consider painting the grills. I was going to paint them silver since it was already off when I was installing the cf side intake but kinda tied up with our store at the moment so no time to paint and bake them in the sun. Anyways, the painted grills would definitely give that area a bit of depth from a distance, the kind of contrast that would help visually enhance the look of your Boxster.

Btw, what do you guys think about red grills against black carbon fiber intakes against a white car instead of artic silver. My brother suggested it would nicely accent my car because of the red calipers and the red tail lights. I do like a bit of red against black because it does feel sporty and the colors go well together. But it's still up in the air for the moment.

I painted my grills metallic silver over the weekend. Plus installed headlight covers.
