Carbon Fiber outside intake vent scoops?
Does anyone know where I can find these in the U.S.? I found them on a web site in Europe. But I don't want to pay for it in "euros" and loose my money in the U.S. curency/conversion from dollars to euros.

Saw some on that well-known auction site. I sent the seller an email asking how they attach to the car, whether I have to drill, etc. His reply? Broken english mentioning "real carbon fiber". I believe they ship out of Taiwan.

Is this what you are looking for???

I have bought and installed the non carbon fiber version and the delivery was on time and installation was very easy.
Simply remove the current intake, its only 1 screw and 3 clips, place the vents inside and reinstall the new intake.
It took me 10 minuntes and most of the time was spent unscrewing the screw (having the right screw driver would have cut install down to a few minutes).

Yes! That's what I was looking for. Thanks so much! How much do they cost? There is no price on them. By the way, I'm originally from New Orleans and graduated from LSU. Are you a tiger's fan? Loved watching them creme Notre Dame.

Gary, how are the prices on that site? They have some nice products even though their Boxster looks godawful.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Yes, what he said. That race boxster looks ugly. Oh well, to each his own. I can't say to much. You should see the rest of my car. I love it. Other's wont. I have red spears on the back top side of my 986. They look like the old Porsche Spyder 550 style. From the 1950's. I got the idea after visiting the RUF shop near by my house. They have a RK Spyder that they created and it has red racing spears on a black 05 boxster. Looks real good. Looks like they weren't the only ones with this in mind. I will have to post some pictures.

Here are some more pictures of my ride on Cardomain.com. You can see the red racing spears/decals on the back end. It's real sutle. Not to much. At least that's what I think.
