I changed out the stock gold hood emblem with a silver one from Bumper Plugs, I like the silver much more on the black. I then desnorked and installed the carbon fiber intake and cooling scoops from Farbacher Loles. Thanks to KMan for the desnork article, very helpful. Total time 1 hour. Pics taken tonight not that good will post better ones tomorrow taken in the day light
how much did you pay for the carbon fiber vents?? they look real good
LOVE the CF vents. Can you take a picture from further back?
the carbon intake/scoop from F. Loles, did the wire mesh screen came with it or you have to fabricate your own mesh?
Need to see better on a distance see if I like them better than the stock one (which are not that bad actually). Group buy possible?
Came as a complete replacement pc. everything included. only drawback, $900.00 for the pair
Here is a better photo of the scoop I will contact Farnbacher Loles regarding group buy if thier is any interest
How long did the install for the CF vents take?
I think the middle 2 fins will drive more air into the intake. Don't you agree?

$900??? Holy cow. Really nice, but I think I'll pass on this mod.
No, I do not. My strong speculation is that those fins are for looks only. I don't think much for air is being force fed to the engine at all.
I kind of like those though, and would rather have a set that was painted (so they don't have to be made of expensive carbon fiber). Do they make that thing in plastic or something?
Install
Install took about 40 minutes
How long did it take to get the hood badge off? Was it difficult?
Thanks,
Suneet
According to a Porsche tech rep, the vertical fins increase airflow 30% over the horizontal ones.

The hood badge comes off quickly by removing two speed nuts that you get to under the hood. 5 minutes
do the scoops stick out
in one pic it looks like the scoop comes out further to catch more air, is that correct
I really like the silver crest. I think it will look great on my Atlas Grey CS. It should compliment the polished alum Forgelines I've got on order and the clear turn signals I just put on.
Thanks Spydr - your post cost me $139 bucks!
scoops
They do stick out about 1 inch and curve towards the front
