Looks amazing!

How's the fitment? I've seen some people doing the same on GT3s and the fitment isn't 100% where the curvature of the body doesn't match the skirt seeing as it's not "turbo widebody" but it seems it's only a few mm's and barely noticeable on darker cars.

Did you find them online or did you call a dealer to find out?

Please report back on fitment/install. Interested in doing this on my GT3 Touring.

Looks good but is it just just me or there isn't a huge diff with the default gts one? can we see a side by side close up comparo?

Yes fitment is not 100% as the GT3RS is wider at the back, but it's only a few millimeter off at the back end of the skirt and it's hardly noticeable, even on mine in Chalk.

I saw my friend's .2 GT3 with this before I installed mine. Part is cheap and install is easy. You can't go wrong.

I found a pic I took with stock side skirt. It's pretty dramatic to me.

So a base 4cs is more narrow than a S and gts?

No, any 4 is a wide body since it has AWD.

omfg.. I have a chalk 991.2 GTS. I want this so bad now. Damn you. Also where are the side decals from?

Could you take a few pics which highlight the degree of gap, especially towards the rear? My OCD is wondering whether the gap may make it appear non-OEM up close...

Wow that looks awesome!
I love these types of mods, it's subtle enough you don't right away know what's different (if at all) you just know THAT 991 looks better than any others you've seen.
Good job, thanks for being the guinea pig on this!
