Default How do you Remove Silver Vents?
How difficult would it be to remove the silver side vents on a 987? I want to take mine off and paint them to match the body color.

What color is your car? Post a pic when your done. How much will the paint job cost? I'm suprised no one has offered a swap out/core program.

Eric at Bumperplugs did a nice job on mine, on a core basis, for $175.

Chris,

That looks phenomenally better then the stock titanium colored piece. Porsche should paint them that way from the factory. That’s a great looking car.

Cheers,

Chris has one of the best looking Boxsters I've ever seen.

Jim, we can do a set in advance and send them to you to install, no need to remove yours in advance. Email me with questions.

Thanks.

Default Thanks guys! Looks even better lowered...
Body colored vents are a must IMHO (unless your car happens to be silver of course)

Eric: Any luck matching the "Volcano Grey" color on the seatbacks for my center console??
