Where can I get these side air scoops?
 

I sent a pm to the member that posted his Boxster picture, but the post was from early 2012 and he only made 16 post here, so I'm not sure I will get a reply back.

Anyways I dig these side air scoops and I'm wondering if any of you would know where I could get them.

Thanks!

That's it, thank you, but what am I missing here? I don't see a price or a "Buy Now" button?

Any input or opinions on these?

They look tacky, IMO...

Actually, more the ground effects (skirt) to me. Kills the design. If the scoop is removable and helps at the track.......

I thought the right was a vent only. Could increasing induction there damage anything?

If this is what you like and are looking for on your car...go for it. But you need to consider also, there are lots you can do with your OEM to modify your look as well. Here was my take on a mod for my build.

I've alway liked this style.

Is that right? So much for the scoop idea then.

Thanks to those posting other options, much appreciated. :cheers:

Hey Danger, you have great taste! I just ordered those side vents from FVD a couple of weeks ago. They are on their way from Germany now. I think they will look great with my AerokitII front bumper and sideskirts, and the Speedster style rear diffuser I am adding this Spring.

I wish that I had known about that. I have a connection to a supplier that probably would have saved you a lot.

Hey Danger, I should have known to go to the body kit expert before ordering parts!!
I got a slight discount from their list price anyway. Next time I'll know better.
Thanks!

If Rhonda helped you, then you were in good hands.

Pax side is actually a vent with a thermostat-controlled exhaust fan (to rid the engine compartment of heat) behind it, although I doubt the fan kicks on any when the car is at speed. I hear mine come on in summer when I slow down and am creeping through a parking lot.

Yup, it was Rhonda. She worked with me a few years ago on my FVD/Brombacher 'sound version' muffler too. Great service!

I want some of those
 

Hey Danger, you said you knew a place to get these, I want a pair, how do I make contact and buy these? Thanks

Well, I'd say they're tacky, too.

I like them too, maybe he could get a group buy together for us.

I'm sure there's room to beat them up a little. :)

The right side is simply an ~6"x6" hole from the outside of the car to the engine compartment with an oversized computer case fan on the inside that kicks on to increase airflow at low speeds. IMO, those kind of goofy little scoops pose no risk of damage anything other than the visual appeal of the car itself. Lol. That being said, its your car and if you like them, go for it - just know they're perfectly safe (mechanically) and may even reduce underhood temps a bit due to some increased airflow at speed. Of course, depending on the aerodynamics down the side of the car, they may not do a damn thing despite looking like they should work like a charm. Aero mods are funny that way..

Let's do it, I want some of those door handles too, if the price isn't too much, but I want the scoops for sure. : -)

The price on the intakes works out to be around $243. Based on my past experience with that seller, I'm guessing that you might be able to snag them for around $200 or so shipped.

$200 Painted? I might be interested too.

I just sent him a message on ebay on his auction, I have no clue what his auction read, I can only read English and Texan.

Painted ? What else, seal your driveway and shingle your roof ? :)

You'll likely receive a response from a women named Verena.

Seal my driveway AND shingle my roof?:eek: ****************, I'm in!!:dance:

I just got an email back from him, he wants 249.00 for the side vents and 179.00 for the door handles, any thoughts on this? Thanks
