Default 928 Side Skirt - Where do you find good ones?

I saw this nice 89 car on eBay with these impressive side skirts. They cover up the ugly bolts and give the car a lower looking and wider stance.

Who knows where these come from? Where do you find them?

They are made by AIR, replicas of the 928 Exclusive parts if I recall:

Strosek and Jacquemond also stock nice skirts, albeit at a much higher price.

lifted from Carl's description...
"Although Porsche® flared the S4 fenders a little when they made the S4, they never completed it by flaring the rocker panels to match.... "
Did I miss something ???

Also the AIR Fiberglass as with most fiberglass sort of kind of fits best thought of as racecar suitable rather than show car. But being fiberglass is easy to work with shape, modify, extend as needed. All it takes is time !

The S-4 does have plastic skirts just not as flared out as the fiberglass aftermarket ones being discussed...
