Side Intake Mesh ?

JD,

No help on the mesh, sorry.

What's the deal with those openings? They look as if there's more going on than just the OE louvers being replaced.

Good eye. Basically, the the entire oem insert has been removed and replaced with just mesh . Here's another perspective on what I'm considering doing .

As you might expect, this is how things currently look .

I like the mesh with the painted insert left installed. The depth is appealing to me.

Have you thought about black mesh versus yellow mesh?

Definitely black mesh, not yellow . Here's another option. It's a turbo style intake designed to fit the 986 .

I believe I like the split opening on the Turbo because the opening is taller. On your 986 I like the OE opening with the black mesh to pick up on those black wheels.

BTW, are your wheels flat (or semi-flat black) or do they have more gloss to them than appears in the pic?

I've often thought about having the spokes on my wheels painted black. Thus far I've been too lazy to do it.

They're gloss black .
