Fitment Note: Please verify your exact model year, side air intake design, factory trim shape, and mounting configuration before ordering.
Important: Although the original product naming references both "718" and "981," the supplied product images and vent shape correspond to the Porsche 981 Cayman / Boxster style side intake. Compatibility with 718 / 982 models should be confirmed separately before purchase.
Installation
Professional installation is recommended for the best alignment and finish. Both vent pieces should be test-fitted before final installation to confirm positioning, intake clearance, body-panel alignment, and mounting contact points.
Depending on the supplied configuration, installation may use automotive-grade adhesive, retained factory mounting locations, or a combination of both methods.
Care Guide
Regular Cleaning: Clean the carbon fiber vent trims using a soft microfiber cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the clear coat.
Use Microfiber Pads and Cloths: Use clean microfiber materials when washing, drying, polishing, or applying protective coatings to reduce the risk of surface scratches.
Protect From Sun and Chemicals: Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and excessive sunlight whenever possible to preserve the carbon fiber weave and protective clear-coat finish.
