Painted Air Intake Vents - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

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!

Hi Chris C Atlanta, you have had these painted side vents for a few months now. Is everything OK with the paint quality? Any chipping or cracking?? Thanks for the update.

Chris,

A little late to the party, but i wanted to tell you that your body color intakes look great. It goes a long way towards integrating them with the quarter panel.

I hope someone on this forum tries installing the Cayman intakes on a 987soon, that would be tight!

I prefer them in the stock color but more power to you if you like 'em body-colored.

What's funny is that it's a Tequipment option if you want to have titanium-colored vents on the Cayman.

sorry for the internet redundancy, but:

Chris Huck (a sales guy over at Pioneer, here in SD) just did the Cayman grill install on his 987S and posted to ppbb about the mod, including a pic. While I applaud his experimentation...the outcome seems pretty...meh.
