Engine side vent types
 
1 Attachment(s)
The engine side vents on my 2003 Boxster side vents sit on top of the sheet metal, some others that I’ve seen fit nicely inside of the body. I’m guessing this is an “early vs late” vent thing. If this is so, can these be interchanged? I’d like mine to be more recessed. I’m ok with a little judicious body modification to make it work. What do you think?

Likely they can. I swapped out my "deep" vents, which I believe are stock... for the turbo vents, or something along those lines. :cheers:

Keep it stock and leave it alone.

My 2000 has 1 of each LOL. My guess is a previous owner replaced one of them with the wrong style

So much for attention to detail.

Left and right side are different, at least on a 2004

The two sides are different because the vents serve different air flow purposes: Driver's side is an air intake for the engine, passenger's side is an engine compartment heat vent

Update. I installed a pair of early vents in the 2003 and they fit perfectly. I’m pleased with the more streamlined look. Thanks for the constructive comments.

I have a 98 and put the new style on my car. I have a set of the old style in arctic silver if you need a set.

OK. I don't think I'm wrong. If I am, please correct me.

Who the f uck are you? You think putting a period at the end of an existing users name is going to slide by me you scamming cocksucker? You think us regulars don't pay attention to the efforts of losers like you?

The vents? You clearly have zero ****************ing integrity if you'd compromise it for a $50 set of vents, silly mother ****************er.

OK. Rant over. Correct me if I'm wrong. b itch. :cool:

Wow that was the first time I have ever been cloned. Anyways how about $20 plus shipping? I'll have to dig them out of the shed.

That’s a great price, but I already bought a pair off EBay. I appreciate the offer.

BTW, I’m working on adding a single horizontal splitter 911 style. Similar to the pic below. I’ll post a pic when I’m closer to done.
