Thanks for that, the only reason I’ve avoided them was because I didn’t want to mess with tape. Just another thing to get now!

Sorry, this is all the info I have. I would assume when it's shipped I'll get a true packing list?
Here are the parts that you get, I have arranged them in the order you'll use to assemble. The way these lock in on each other, there is no chance of this thing coming off or needing tape to hold it in place.
The intake (black piece) clips inside the scoop and once the black piece is in the car there is no way to remove the scoop other than to completely remove the intake.
excuse the dirty garage rug!

checked with my local dealer for a quote on the painting.... wasted trip! Those fools are fuggin crazy! Sorry it's crumpled, I dug it out of the trash to show the insanity.
Went to the local German body shop and he quoted me $100-$150 each for the same thing. Wants the car for a day so he can ensure they match and even gave me a tour of his facility and the cars he's been restoring. He came highly recommended and after meeting him I'm 100% comfortable with him doing the work.
Dealer - $717.00 (Minimum)
Indy Shop - $300 (Max)

Yea, I just don't get 9 hours of labor? Plus they quoted it as if it were an insurance claim?@HooosierDaddy the dealer quote for painting the scoops is what I call a 'stink bid', they don't really want to do it but if you are OK with the $717 rip off, sure they'll take it on...
They're also a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealer and those being the core of their body shop work. They need a dedicated Porsche body shop, because I don't want to leave the Porsche dealer to visit the Dodge body shop.
Also... I now remember how this same shop is the one that buggered up the Satellite antenna replacement with a dented roof, scratched rear quarters and runs in the paint on the antenna. It was a warranty issue so I took it to the Porsche dealer... ends up they sent it to Dodge next door
. Its good now, but they had to have a third party make the repairs after 2 failed attempts. Should have left the stupid antenna alone, it's not like I subscribe to XM Radio, but I so want my car to be a 100%.
Now you come up with this idea!You could have opted for just deleting the "G"... Having it say T4 would not be wrong
All painted and ready for install. But... I want to have them PPF’d and was advised to give them 30 days to gas out. Don’t want to risk install > removal > PPF > reinstall so I’ll just wait the 30 days to put them on after they’ve been protected.
I couldn't take it any more... staring at me while I'm trying to work!
Installed the scoops today, not hard to do but I'm not sure I like it??? I'll leave them on for a bit to see in different lighting situations, but I don't know... Could just be that it's different and I'm not use to it.
