Default rear bumper vent on a 930?

Hi
I am looking at 930's and found one with an odd vent on the left bumper behind the left wheel. Does anyone know what the heck that is ?
I can't seem to post photos here, but could send you a shot of it.

If passenger side front wheel then it's likely the oil cooler. Welcome to Air cooled race cars.

Without seeing a pic it's hard to say. If its just behind the rear wheel it could be for a ac condensor that's been relocated as a result of the install of a full bay worth of intercooler.

Hi
Thanks. It is behind the drivers side rear wheel. The AC condenser sounds like it could be the answer. It has a custom intercooler ... wish I could post the photos.

Is this a resale value problem do you think? Looks kinda weird having a grille/vent there... the job looks professional and nice, but I am concerned about it as an odd Mod...

Mine has an AC condenser in the left rear wheel well. If it's like mine you should have a cool ride on those hot summer days. Mine blows ice cold when it's 100 outside. The mod was done by Zotz Garage in Winter Park, Fla. It makes my car very drivable year round.
