Hey since you know how to take the grill on and off now you should put the updated grill on. It's only $8 from Sunset.

If your car is newer than an 01, you already have the updated grill that blinkwatt is talking about that has the 2 bottom louvres with the vents blocked off. This updated louvre, btw, is only of use if you keep the snork w/ the cup at the end inserted, as it brings the level of the airflow up to the level of the cup. If you take out the snorkel, it's better to have the old louvre style, as it allows less air to flow through due to the blocked off lower louvres.
If you really want an updated vent style, buy the 03+ one piece intake vents that need to be painted body color. They fit without issues to the older 986 intake assemblies.

Do you have any idea how much those run for? I have been thinking about it but don't know how much $$$ it would cost.

Hi blink, no- unfortunately, I'm not sure what they cost, as I havn't bothered to do this yet, but I know another boarder on rennlist named Marc Galefsky (sp?) has done this already on his 02, and said it fits without any modification. They come unpainted though, so you'd have to factor in the cost of the paintwork in addition to the part itself.

The parts were about 160-170 or so + paint if I remember correct, I liked the 03+ look muck better and am pleased with the outcome.

Boxtaboy,
Thanks for the tip. I'll just keep what I have as I have an 01. Take care,
Mike

the diff is really nice for not costing anything, and theres a dyno showing a 5hp gain, so its even sweeter.
i desnorkeled mine as well and loved it, but then i got an intake so its even better (required desnorkel as well, but i had that off anyways )
enjoy
