Nice. Did you remove the 2 row of the emblems on the rear?

Is the pin stripping on your wheels painted? I like how that separates the black rim from tire optically.

991.1 C2S here... Very interested in .2 side skirts. As my car is narrow body I'm wondering if these will fit. Thoughts? Experiences?

I have a .1 C2 and really want side skirts as well. Looks like it can be done but it will take a lot of work.

I believe it 's painted but still worried about it when I get new tires in the future.

Default possible solution to the side skirt gap

My son and I installed the Gt3RS sides skirts on my red 2019 4GTS yesterday. It took us a little less than an hour. I plan to pick up some Midnight Black ColorFast Tile & Grout Caulk which can be used for both interior or exterior use. I feel the gap at the rear will be much less noticeable if it is filled. If I take the proper precautions to keep the caulk off the top edge of the skirt and keep it flat across to the body it will greatly improve this issue. I expect the caulk to have something like a matte finish which should work. Regardless, there is not going to be a lot of caulk showing either way. I'll take some pictures when finished.

For those who can not deal with the gap between the side skirt and body these pictures show a solution you might want to consider. I'm of the opinion that any heating of or manipulation of the skirt to conform more closely to the body of the car is not going to work. So my next thought is to fill the gap which I did using Midnight Black ColorFast Tile & Grout Caulk. This was relatively easy and did a good job of making the gap disappear. The caulk matches the skirt quite closely in both color and sheen. Obviously, if you want to take the skirt off in the future you'll have some difficulty but clean up and replacement should not be a big deal. Hope this helps, Doug

Well....

I am in a holding pattern right now on side skirts until another member on here posts better photos of the Design 911... GTS or RS with some heat molding action and caulk... car is begging for something
