I see them every now and then at Partsheaven. Actually i just saw a 924 Turbo there being parted this Saturday. You may want to ring them up and see if its vented nose is still there, and if so, how much. http://www.partsheaven.com/

Do a search for "SFR vented nose panel," and open the one thread with over 5 pages.
It's got a template that beab951 made, you print it, tape it to the panel, and cut with a dremel.
I can vouch for it, it looks great.
Matt has also helped me with the panel cutting, do a search..

OOpps.


Wont let me upload the larger files.


This one is at 50% just enlarge, print out and tape two together...works great.


If you want 5 smaller vents just take this one and reduce by 50%. Turns out great as well.

The holes are made from the exact dimensions of the 931's

You can do this with a dremel. No big deal, Red1, did mine. I have pics but no template, if you want to see what needs to be done.

WARNING: If you do this to your own panel then you should be prepared to pay to have it repainted. I see no way you are going to be able to cut it without a repaint and cleaning up the edges. I am SURE it CAN be done without respray but I am doubtful. Additionally, you have to remove the factory backing which required grinding of some tack welds.

I thought about using masking tape over the paint to prevent chipping. Then following up with a file, very carefully. You could go a step further and use a hole saw attachment on a drill for the rounded corners of the above template.
