If they fit like mine they can, simply grooved rubber press fit.

Yes, those rubber flappy things are air cooling ducts. They are very close to the ground so pretty easy to lose if you go over a dead opossum or something. just pick up a new set, jack up the rear of the car, set your jack stands, and refit them. A little plastic Porsche body pin snaps in to hold them.

Any idea what the part number is? I'm missing the one on the passenger side.

Bump, just in case anyone who happens to know what the part number is for the under-car rubber engine air scoops might have missed this thread a couple weeks ago. I'm still looking for the part number.

Are you talking about the plastic/rubber ducts that direct air into the radiators?'

996 575 321 00 Left Air Duct
996 575 322 00 Right Air Duct
(Search for 'radiator' in the parts guide)
