Hey Jim, how are you doing! I respect you opinion, but, I just disagree. I think they look great as is, but, would look a little better the same color as the body, like the Cayman is set-up. But, that's just IMHO! I am a more monochromatic kinda guy.

Will install them tomorrow and post pics. They are high quality, but it took a while to get them.

IMO they wll be a drastic improvement on my red car--I can't see keeping the gray ones. If my car was silver or grey maybe, but they're outta place on a red car. I like the monochrome look on the 986 and on the cayman.

Chris C Atlanta, I talked to Eric (owner) at Bumperplugs, and he said that he is going to double the price of the painted vents. Very labor intensive to paint them right.

I like the color matched idea. Go for it.

Ok...with painted intakes, and with faux titanium ones...I know which one's I like!

Awesome job, Chris C Atlanta!!!

You have taken a great looking car, and improved upon it! Not an easy thing to do.

How long did it take to put them in?

Thanks!

Install takes about 5 minutes a side, but it's not for the faint of heart. Aside from depressing one of the vanes to release a clip, it's strictly a brute force removal!

See this url for instructions...and thanks to the Renntech folks

Side vent removal

Car will be lowered Monday, and then I'm finished fixing questionnable factory choices...
