I've done mine, the inlets are easily removed. Plastidip works well (despite the musings of many on the board--a fair number of whom I suspect have never used it). The dip itself is also simple to remove. Go for it!

IMO, looks great as is; the pic's cited above don't look good.

what looks good to you is what looks good. It's kinda subjective that way...

You could paint them any color you'd like and still have your OEM yellow vents if needed to convert back to stock.

How much?

u can do a decent photoshop on it to see what it will look like. on the 991s the gloss black intakes look awesome so i can see it working on 997.

I've discussed wrapping with a local shop who quoted me approximately $400/side. Because the intakes are plastic they are more difficult, at least according to them.

I know Rennlisters are allergic to the P-word, but this seems like a textbook example of when to use PlastiDip...
