Default Anyone tried to change out our plastic engine vents?

Like title says, has anyone tried to change the new to 991.2 black plastic engine cover to different design?

when I was in the dealership showroom, I couldn’t took my eyes off the carbon cover from a GT3 RS! It would look killer on my car, and I’m sure it’s functional of breathing more air, but prob cost arm and leg... any aftermarket ones out yet?

Techart is the closest.

Function: The GT3RS is not a boosted car mind you.... I won't even pretend to know the data as it's all speculative but the vents on a .2 are really well designed for air and cooling. The vents IMO look worse than the clean look of the #1 cars but there's no denying the design in terms of function. Not that the GT cars don't need air and cooling but a boosted car typically needs significantly more.

Design: BAD455

DB Carbon seems to have carbon fiber parts for pretty much every little thing on all our cars, so I would check them out to see if they have something. I don't see any carbon fiber in the pictures you posted, though?

I was trying to get the pic I saw online but couldn’t find any. Maybe I will go take a picture this weekend when I go pick up my car from dealership.
