RS side skirts on a GT3 - done!
#76
Sorry, I cannot. I didn't note the part numbers on the skirts prior to installing them and am not taking them off to get the number. I ordered the skirts from Suncoast in the .1 GT3 RS section using the "side skirt upgrade" and they were the correct wider .2 RS skirt. Suncoast quoted a 3 month wait for them but I actually received them in 3 weeks. This was back in march though. Suncoast has been really good to deal with. I'd order with confidence but that's JMO. I have a set of .2 wing end plates on order now.

Hey guys, sorry for disappearing! Life had me going for a while and now I'm just getting some time with this social distancing thing...
Yes I did install the second set and was able to close the gap a tiny bit, enough to an acceptable tolerance. It still doesn't fit perfectly but being that my car is black, it doesn't show too much. I'll take some pics and post them here soon.
When I first attempted this I made the V shape cut to bend the rear side of the side skirt in. Then I realized that instead of trying to bend it in to conform with the curvature of the body, I can hide the difference in curvature below the body.
My second attempt, I didn't make the V shape cut, but instead skipped the 3rd and 4th fasteners (the skirt is still on very tight with all the underbody clips) hiding the difference in curvature under the body. Worked pretty well.
Pics to follow

I updated my .1 with the .2 side skirts sourced from Suncoast (arrived quickly). Here are a couple pics of them side by side.
