The later model 03+ 986 Boxster has the slats painted body color which makes them appear to be more flush with the body. You can do this yourself or have a shop do it for cheap. The vent housing comes out really easily, I believe it's just one screw on the inside top part. Then the slats separate as one piece from the vent housing.

I've thought of doing it a couple times but, I prefer that they just go away. And it matches my front Turbo bumper.

hi yelllow,

I don't think it's just the body color paint...

It appears the entire vent was changed in 03 up cars...

whereas the old ones were two piece vents (the surround...and the actual slats)

the newer ones are one piece vents that are actually flush with the car body...

anyone know where we can get these? apart from the stealership?
