I'm a big fan of OEM parts just as much as the next guy but the carbon fiber side air intakes are pretty awesome. I recently added them to my Ebay store and kept one for myself because I liked it so much.
My originals were color matched to the vehicle. It's a white car and I always thought it looked pretty good the way it was. Never really intended to change them out but I must admit I like the carbon fiber ones a lot better. It looks pretty aggressive if you get a chance to see one in person.
I attached pics with it installed, and also the white ones I had on before. Anyways, everyone is entitled to an opinion and I think it's great otherwise we all have the same Boxsters
Happy driving!
