I added 991.1 GT3 side skirts to my car and I left them unpainted like my OE skirts. I really like the look. The 991.2 side skirts are more aggressive and many people here have done that too. They look great. I think I ordered mine from Suncoast. If you decide to paint them then this can be easily done by the body shop of your choice. Installation is very easy.

I did mine also and was planning to paint them body color. However when I took the old ones off I was amazed at how beat up they were from rocks a debris kicked up by the tires. Immediately changed my mind about paining them.

Added 991.2 GT3RS skirt, more flare. Great stance with Eibach Springs.
Order direct from OPC
No need to repaint. Tie in well with front bumper inserts and side vents.
Plus the underside peppered with stone chips, works well protecting the lower rear quarters.

I went with 991.2 GT3RS side skirts (wider than the 991.1 GT3 skirts) to my car and I left them unpainted like my OE skirts.

Sigh my frustration with side skirts. I would LOVE to do these side skirts but I have two opposite concerns.

1. If I go with unpainted there is literally nothing on the side profile of my car that this black so I don't think they'll look right.
2. If I go with getting a shop to paint them I'm concerned they won't be able to match the color up correctly(graphite blue metallic).

Thoughts?

Here’s a shot of the smaller 991.1 GT3 skirts, for comparison.

The carbon fiber 991.2 GT3 skirts from DB Carbon would be my ultimate preference, but they’re pretty expensive and I’m worried about damaging them.
