I like the red or black option better than the silver. Have you considered painting your brake calipers at the same time? Red calipers would give you a triple red effect and it might add another layer of cool! Just a thought.........

Red. I don't like the contrast of the silver and red.

The silver makes the vents stand out. The red makes it blend. I would really like to see how it looks in black.

I'd paint them red and I would get the Cayman vents, thats what I did with mine and never looked back.
Bumperplugs has the exact match I believe and they turned out great for me and others. I'm not sure he's still around, I assume so lol

It looks good both ways. I have a red / tan 2k S. On the red gen II cars I prefer silver vents and silver wheels.

PorscheChick:
Order your painted side vents from Eric at BumperPlugs. The quality and service are excellent. Mine were done by him and my delivering dealership way back in 2006 prior to me even taking delivery of my custom ordered car.
You order them, he ships them to you, you put the new ones in, and ship your unpainted ones back to complete the core exchange.
I love the mono-tone look.
If you want something realy unique, they can do the Cayman style vent too. It's a little more involved. Check out his web site.
I am ALWAYS happy to plug BumperPlugs here (pun intended) for many reasons (high quality and great service) but, mainly because many years ago he generousley donated door prizes for our Tail Of The Dragon 986 Forum trip back in 2007 (Randall, NickCats, Derb....and others were there!).

So, I've decided:
I tallied up all the men's votes (which have a value of .0001 point each) and the votes of a couple of women I know (5 points each) and the votes say to keep it as is.
This point system is why your wife wears the blue dress when you said you liked the green one. Sorry, that's the rules.
Seriously, I think I will keep it as is for now, it's kinda different and quirky. I think it's only on 987 Boxsters and disappeared with the 2013's. Silver will stay for a while longer.
