DIY Boca Design CF Vent Install

Took some photos while installing Boca Design carbon fiber vents yesterday on my new-to-me 2015 507 coupe.

Tools:
1) Boca Design Vents
2) 3M Automotive Tape
3) Scissors
4) Kindergarten education

Step 1: Wash your pride and joy



Step 2: Gather materials & take Before photo




Step 3: Cut 3M tape to length and apply to vents (try not to obsessively stare and cry at the GASH caused by first visit to the dealership to the lower bumper area)



Step 4: Peel 3M tape, align vent on car bumper, press firmly, & take After photo



Step 5: Take the first of many, many photos!

Looks fantastic!

Been wanting to do this for a while. Where did you get your vents if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks man! I ended up buying them off of a forum member. Great community! I saw a pair of them listed on ebay at the time as well (I think the seller was in Germany). Good luck!

DO NOT ATTEMPT!

Directions and pictures were not clear, got d*ck stuck in the vent somehow.

0/5 for DIY guide.

On a more serious note, looks really good, congrats on the addition.

Looks good on white for sure, think on my OB it would be not worth doing as it would not be very noticeable, but stands out very nice on white!

Agreed. I am leaning towards painting them white to blend into the body. I wonder if the plastidip white would match...hmmm

I just bought em smoked off eBay. Cheap and easy. The smoked will look good against the white with those
dark wheels and trim. Thats my thought anyways.
