This is a great mod - thanks to the OP for sharing.
I’m seriously considering getting a pair and getting them wrapped in gloss carbon-fiber wrap - I think it will look frikking awesome.
Might have to wrap the front and rear bumper trims too.

Are the wing end plates on the .1 removable? Do you have any photos

Thanks for these photos. I'm curious if the .1RS is much different than the .2GT3 side skirts?

Thanks however I’m curious specifically regarding the durability of the RS side skirts mounted on a GT3 (non-RS)
Also curious if anyone has mastered the fitment of the RS side skirts onto a GT3 (non-RS)

I can also use some help and advice on how to get the fitment better as well.

I have about a 3mm gap on each side with no obvious way to close it.

RS has a different body, so there's no closing the gap. It can be filled though and looks better.

I spoke with a company who is working on a modification to the side skirt to correct this gap
Once I hear if its a success and ready I will let you know

Any idea if this will be an add-on to the existing skirt or an entirely new skirt?

I wonder if the RS side skirts are at all thermoplastic - it might be possible to "mold" them with a heat gun...

The company working on this does carbon fiber work so they will take the existing RS piece and add to it and then refinish in CF
