Fitted, made custom grills, painted and installed my FVD ‘turbo look’ side vent panels. Really like the look, fit is ok, but these are nowhere near as robust as the OEM pieces. No matter, I love’m. In addition to stopping things from being sucked (or crammed) into the vent intakes, the grills really make these work from an appearance standpoint.
Next up, refreshing my cracked/worn leather driver seat side and shoulder bolster.

Baby's got a new pair of shoes
Upgraded to a set of 987-era 18 inchers in lieu of the OEM 17 inch wheels, as many other folks have also done.

I put the 'sports bra' on THIS and drove 6 hours to Shreveport, LA.
It's fun to do a piece of the Talimena Scenic Byway on the way down and back.

Looks great Fred. What mesh did you use for the vents? I'd like to try some of that on my front radiator grills.

Thanks. The mesh is from Custom Car Grills (just google their name). While it may look similar, it is much stronger and much more robust than rain gutter screen. It seriously holds a bend (or its flat shape or any shape you can form it into) and is 77% open vs. full open (no grill). CCG has a wide range of grill material in different finishes and styles along with grill edging material and other helpful stuff. They also list open area info, thickness, material type, etc to help with choosing the appropriate material.
For my front radiator/air con grills I used this same hex material secured with zip ties (there’s a post on that here somewhere) For the side vents I secured the screens with Auto Goop. Auto Goop is pretty amazing for this type of application. Between the strength of the grill material and the Auto Goop it would be very difficult for the grill to be compromised. The gloss black powder coated hex material looks pretty cool also.

Awesome. I just checked them out. Lots of cool stuff available. Now I'm thinking of metal wind deflector for the roll bar hoops too:
48% flow, 16" x 48" sheet should do it. Use the old ones as a pattern...

Never thought of that. It could be a pretty cool custom touch.

How would you hold them in the hoops? Use the frame of the old ones and cut out the center portion?

Bringing a well abused boxster to life. Did a front caliper rebuild a couple weeks ago and full fluid flush after a bit of a scare. Solved the braking issue.
Now I'm chasing down CEL codes. Smells like it's a running rich on startup. So probably O2 sensors or MAF maybe? Wish I had a durametric.
Lots of fun to drive regardless.

2nd oil change since LN IMS installed last 101k ODO
Nice and Clean filter after around 6k miles run since 2016 LN IMS installed. Original dual IMS was solid when removed.

The mesh looks identical to the Lowes gutter screen that I used for my front radiator inlets. I bought 3 sections and only needed two. Dirt cheap.

Participated in our first event since moving to the Hudson Valley Region of the PCA. Made a bunch of new friends and to top it off we won our class in the People’s Choice Concours. Thanks everyone for your votes and your warm welcome! It’s super to be acknowledged by your peers.
Next Saturday we have ~24 cars joining for a day run up Hawks Nest for lunch.
Good stuff.

My wife and I have had great times with PCA and made new friends everywhere we go. Congrats on the concours win. Be careful, it can become addicting. Next thing you know, you'll be buying q-tips by the case.

Thanks! I’m already checking with Amazon to see if I can put q-tips on automatic reorder  We are impressed with the inclusive nature of the Hudson Valley Region. Everything from 356s to the latest GT3s with a good mix of interests from track hounds to cruisers.
