I'd like to swap out my current side inlet vents (the outer painted part) with a set of black ones to allow it to stand out a little more. I can only seem to find carbon aftermarket vents for around $1,800 a pair. Anyone know where to find these at a reasonable price that I can either paint or are already painted? Any help or thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks!

 

You could try one of several porsche scrap yards.

I'm sure there are a few more options out there but that should get you started.

 

Thanks, I'll give them a call. Great idea!

 

I am thinking of getting mine painted from either the P dealers or local paint shop, I was quoted 600 dollars for all 4 rims and vents. I have not done it yet but thinking about it.

 

If you happen to do so please let me know how it turns out. Thanks...

 

will do,

take a look on this thread, lots of comments form other members and pics as well.

 

very helpful. Thanks,

 

you can just take your off and paint them.... saw a new flat black paint on a sixspeeders car that looked great he lives in sf and works in dublin sorry but can't remember his screen name. has a 01 silver and was making x flow exhaust hope this helps

 

I was contemplating that as well, thought if I could find a set that weren't too expensive it would be nice to swap them out if I didn't like it. I'm surprised someone hasn't made these. Thanks!

 

thats not bad pricing, considering the standard for painting wheels is between 90-130 a wheel.

 

The other thing to think about is the seal ring that goes behind the vents, don't break the clips on the seal ring as you can't buy the seal ring as a separate part. It only comes with the complete vent.

 

Steve,
I believe that is F1crazydriver, he wrapped his not painted.

Dakotan2,
Contact F1 he offered to wrap members vents for a price.

 

it was crazy driver . but i think it was painted as he told he did his wheels too... the finish was matt blk and maybe a little grainie , as i remember he said you can peal it off no prob, maybe we can get an answere from him
