Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone here ID this style of air vent? Defectfully Patrick

POST 2Original post

They look like an aftermarket vent. I have a pair that looks exactly like that in fiberglass sitting in my future projects parts pile. Can't tell you where they were manufactured - they came with some fiberglass side skirts and some other pieces and parts when I bought one of my cars. Rick

POST 3Original post

Not 100% sure, but they look an awful lot like these. Unfortunately it does not list a manufacture. FOR PORSCHE: 330986107, 330 986 107 - READY TO SHIP - (BOXSTER SIDE AIR INTAKES)

They are nice but at $533 plus having to paint them, ouch!

POST 5Original post

Yea... got those. Great item, you can dispose the aftermarket supercharger when running these air intake. Oh "They scoop air plenty". Faster you go, more they scoop that fresh air in. Great mod X10 They are also great at scooping cigarette butts, dead leaves, little birds and all the other stuff roaming on today roads e.g. if you go for them make sure the mesh/grill is up to the task and installed rock solid lol

POST 6Original post

it's an fvd product (hence the cost) but if you really search you can find an English company that is selling knockoffs for $30 a set.

$30?! I got screwed then. Paid €80 for the pair back in 2004... they were prototypes at the time LOL

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The pic I posted is from the UK seller. He wants $105 USD + $60 s&h. But they sure are pretty.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
