Turbo Style Side Air Intakes Yea or Nay ?
 

I was thinking of adding a set of these turbo style side air intakes to the Dangermobile. Yea or Nay ?

p.s. I decided to forgo the Porsche side stripe.

I think the turbo vents or any of these will look better than oem vents but be prepared to pay, very pricey.

best,
Mike

I like the look of the vents on the Yellow Boxster.

It makes it look like a more recent model with better styling.

1 Yea here!

Sorry Soucorp, but those intakes are absolutely gross !

Agreed...as are the "turbo style". :p
IMO, they just look odd. Why the vane in the middle and why is it angled slightly upward? Does not flow at all.

That's a nay for me.

It seems like you're really bored with your car, eh Johnny? Maybe you need a whole new project to start on?

I tried lawn darts and making wicker baskets. However, I soon became bored. Could this be a form of "reaching out", albeit with the D-mobile ?

+1 for the yellow boxster side vents

I hear the key to enjoyable basketweaving is to do it underwater. ;)

What about Spyder intakes?

JD,
Yes to your original question.
I kept mine stock following its restoration... But if I had my time again-turbo style Lionel Richie style "all night long"!

I agree..the whole car looks odd:confused:

Not only would those look odd, you'd have to take a saw to the side of your 986 in order to make them fit. :eek:

Yea to the turbo style side air intakes. I think it has a cleaner look.

The Basket Weave is just 1 page of the KamaSutra, why limit yourself!

Underwater definitely makes everything past page 5 easier for us geezers that are not as flexible as those that are already past page 50.

Jello also helps.:p

Did someone say "turbo" and "side intakes"? Could always go old school and 959 it:

For whatever it may be worth JD, I like the turbo style air intake/exhaust grills.

I'd vote yes to the turbo style inlets since I just added them to my car this Spring. I think they match well with the openings on the AerokitII front bumper. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1370976352.jpg

Yeah...they just don't flow with the lines of the car :rolleyes:
It seriously doesn't bother anyone else that they point upward? I'm too OCD...it would bug the hell out of me.

Enough said.

FWIW, I think you should still do the first stripe AND do the inlets. If you don't like the finished product, go back to what you had!
