Default I have a torn ?????

Hello all. I wonder if you can help me identify what part on my 1996 993 is torn. Picture is below. Its a rubber cowling that has a fairly large tear in it.
Does anyone have the P/N and advice on whether this is a DIY or something for a mechanic to fix?
Thanks.

I just replaced mine 993 106 403 00 I think it cost about $35. DIY is really easy its only 3 bolts. Good luck.

Fluffy, my mechanic just replaced mine while doing some other stuff, I agree with Brian about the cost. Its not real critical (just directing airflow) you could duct tape it until you get the replacement. I think DIY would be a 45 minute job.

Ditto to all above. Coaxing it onto the "box" on the left needs some attention. Also, I fished around with a flashlight and "grabber" tool when the old one was off just to make sure all the little pieces of rubber that had fallen in the cowling were removed.
Good luck.

Thanks guys. I now notice other threads on this topic. It's hard to search if you don't know what the part is called... Thanks again for your help. Just paid up my dues, I felt guilty about all of the benefits (and repair cost savings) I have reaped from this board.
