Can you snap a pic standing over the front bumper vent ? I want to see how close it fits to the headlights on the ends and how close is it to the front edge of the hood . Thanks

I went ahead and stuck it on for a pic for you. I'm hold in it alitte crooked 🙄 but you see why it needs the mesh. I'll post a finished pic tomorrow screwed on with mesh.

That is a tight fit where the ends meet the outline of the headlight , did you have to trim the ends of the vent or did they " just fit " ? The screen sure helps hide what is underneath . The 997 hood must have a smaller radius to it as the vent follows the hood edge line much closer than in your pics . But your color hides that quite well . In my case I am thinking of leaving it black , against my Arctic Silver that hood fit may stand out too much . Will have to think this over . Thank you for the follow up pics . :cheers:

I trimmed probably 1/2 inch off each side. I should of went just a hair more and contoured it flatter at the ends to make it flow together better. May end up doing that. The mesh I used was really flimsy. I think I'm going to get the thicker plastic mesh.

JB your post is a year ago any update on the GT3 front vent ? I am thinking about getting one for my Boxster GT3 clone :D How did you end up doing the final attachment ? Is there an OEM kit with clips and screws ? Did you end up adding a black mesh ? Any pics looking straight down at the vent ?
