See pics below. It's about 3 to 4mm off at the rear end of the skirt. The rest is perfect fit. You can't really tell if you are couple steps away from the car.

thanks for the pic - not perfect, but not bad, I think I can live with 3-4mm

Someone said something about a heat gun here. Think that should be able to mold those 3-4mm if desired (when off the body of course)

Looks good.
My OCD doesn’t allow me to overlook the gap. However it does look sharp.

I don't think I would attempt it unless you are an expert at such things. Putting heat to plastic could turn out disastrous..

I ordered mine from www.getporscheparts.com.

The less aggressive GT3RS .1 skirts that I have are:

991504595901E0
991504596901E0

The more aggressive GT3RS .2 skirts are:

99150459586OK1
99150459686OK1

The installation is quite easy. They are essentially “plug-and-play” for the turbo cars with no gap.

Think a little 3M molding tape will close that gap?

I would be inclined to say, the 991.1 RS side skirts will fit better with lesser of a gap issue vs 991.2 RS.

The .1 and .2 RS should have same width at the rear and body line on the side as far as I know so I don't see why the .1 RS side skirts will fit better on a GTS or C4S. Please note that "Dennis C" above has a Turbo S, which is same or similar rear width as a 3RS, that's why there is no gap on his. Even if he installed the .2 3RS side skirt there should still be no gap on his Turbo S.

I just purchased the .2 RS skirts and had them painted gloss black to replace my .1 RS skirts. Once I have them installed next week I can make the .1 skirts available at a really great price if anyone wants them. I just want to make sure they come off in good shape.
