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...

H&Rs are 1.4 and 1.2 front and rear...about 35 and 30mm. Ride height is low, but looks perfect. Ride is not jiggly but fimer overall.

bmussatti,

I assume you check out that other board, but if you don't, "Robert" a salesman for Porsche just completed his Cayman training and reports that the Cayman side intake flows 30% more air than the 987s, is body colored and interchangeable.

SD987, thanks, I'll check it out. Right now I am going with bumperplugs painted vent, but maybe I need to re-think that!
