Carbon side vents - what do you think?

Just added carbon side vents on the Turbo. Gloss back so it doesn't stray too close to looking like an authentic GT2RS. Car is dirty as hell so it'll need a detailing soon.


Thoughts....should I keep them on?

Thank you. It's actually Slate Gray.

Thanks appreciate it. I was on the fence but getting more convinced to keep it on.

It's actually a GT2 rear spoiler, hence my questioning if I should keep the carbon vents on. I don't want to pose as a GT2 or GT2RS though admittedly it's heading in that direction. Front splitter is Techart.

I'm thinking it looks lonely as it's the only carbon on the car, needs a carbon hood and rear spoiler to finish it off

Fitment is about 95% good. It's not Porsche OEM, otherwise I'd give it 100%.

I actually picked it up from eBay.

Hopefully there's more on eBay!

I have carbon side mirror, carbon Werks 1 rear diffuser, and carbon gurney flap (tip of rear GT2 spoiler). I've thought about the carbon hood but that takes it 1 step closer to looking too much like a GT2. Maybe if I can find a hood with different vent designs so that it won't start to look too much like a clone and will keep its own identity.


Here's a shot of the rear which shows the Werks 1 diffuser.

Ya.....that last pic really ties it in. Nice work! Maybe a carbon lower front lip to tie the front in and then done. Dont over do it. Looks nice and clean now. Carbon hoods and all that crap starts to look Nissan Nissimoish!!!! IMO right now looks super clean and classy.......just like a Pcar should.

Care to share the seller info on ebay? There are so many junk carbon parts out there, these obviously fit very nicely! THanks in advance!
