    Colored side vents installed

    I wanted to personalize a bit, so I picked these up and snapped them into place in about 10 minutes. I would like to do the same with the front inserts under the driving lights.

    Re: Colored side vents installed

    If you want to do that to the front inserts, go find a standard Boxster owner with your color car and ask him if he wants to trade. The silver front vents are one of the things that Porsche has decided seperates the S-model from the base model.

    Did you buy them pre-painted??? Would like to do that with mine, like the idea of keeping the orginals come re-sale time

    Looks really good on a yellow car. Wouldn't look so good on a black one.

    Re: Colored side vents installed

    Where'd u pick them up? I'm thinking if I should snap this on and keep the stock silver one in the garage.

    Those are great. Who wants silver ones on a non-silver car anyway?

    Re: Colored side vents installed

    And who wants white dials in an all-black interior? I do. Contrast is good ... IMO it attracts attention to certain areas --- the dials for the interior, and the mid-engine config for the exterior...

    Bumperplugs.com can hook you up, I lucked out and found these from another owner who sold his car.

    Re: Colored side vents installed

    I finally have mine installed, along with clear side markers. I've taken a few photos but I want to take more. I'll make a report soon, in a separate thread.
