997 GT2 RS Carbon Side Intake
Hello,

The OEM part is about $4,500, do we have a vendor who makes the same product for a reasonable price?

Thanks.

The GT2RS ones are a little different to the rest, they miss the centre fin which splits the intake

That's what I am looking for, not just for the appearance.

Just as an FYI, the OEM piece is also matte finish, not glossy.

The carbon pieces up front, by the grill, side view, air intakes, and wing insert are all matte finish.

Saw one last weekend during the Porsche Roadshow in Dallas. Likely the only time I'll see one in person...the matte looked nice.
