Installed this yesterday...did have to do some light grinding as the intercooler on a turbo (nose came off a 951) leaves more clearance behind the panel than the S2 airbox.

Love the nose...just don't like what I see thru the vent! Should I just put a piece of black mesh behind the panel? Any other suggestions (besides get a 951 to go with my new nose! )

Can you paint the straps/clamps/whatever they are black to help hide them?

I could....what's hard to see in the pics is that the airbox is actually a dark grey...so even if I paint the straps I'd have this big grey thing with black stripes.

I gues I could paint the airbox...but I was thinking that if I grind down the back of the vent some more I could epoxy some sort of black mesh to the back of it...

I am keeping my steel nose in the garage as well...this thing is fiberglass and I can just see it being cracked by a shopping cart or some other impact.

you could change the airbox to have a cone filter instead to make some use of that vented nose panel. obviously you'd still be looking at a cone filter, but then it'd made sense.

What are you doing with the nose you removed? Are you interested in selling it?

Thanks,

No...I am holding on to it as a backup in case the GT fiberglass one gets broken.

Sounds good. BTW, the vented nose looks great.

Mesh it.
