You will overheat....

....if you run that louvered one on the passenger side.

The passenger side is NOT an intake. It is an exhaust. It vents engine heat OUT.

You are trying too hard.

Nice concept Boxster wheels, however.

I originally wanted to do reversed louvers like the 718 but I knew I needed air, I never thought of doing two different ones( duh). I really appreciate all the honest responses , that's what I was hoping for. I'm 90% sure I'm going to repaint the black bezels body color and leave the fins gold . I'll post pics when done.
