Late post...
Is that on a narrow body 991?
Trying to choose between .1 and .2 GT3RS side skirts. Mine is a narrow body.

Is there now a factory retrofit available from Porsche to date ?

Default Sourcing gt3rs side skirts in Europe

Hi,
I can't find them at reasonable price here in Europe.
As an example, txxle.com who usually got reasonable prices wants 313 Euros (350-370 usd) each !!

If you found the side skirts for a fair price in EU, please let me know !

Best regards JP

Thanks, I love it! Yes, good eye, I was going for the monochrome look. 😅

If the tabs are cut off the top, how secure is that upper face? Does it flex at all without the tabs? I wonder what kind of aero load it sees at 100+ mph and if that would cause flex in that face.

I used double sided tape where I could. When I pushed down, the side skirt felt solid.

Mine has been 130+ on the track with no issues. The screws on the front and back hold them tight.

I actually didn't need to use the screws and washers as I was able to use the OEM fasteners, I just needed to modify the holes to align the factory mounting points.

Essentially I just used the OEM Torx screw in the front and the Speednut and screw on the rear to get the right arrangement and used small scissors to carve out the sideskirts holes to align them with the factory mounting points on our narrow body car and used the included fasteners. Everything feels super sturdy.







sent you a pm!

I did this mod last year and didn't like the fit and finish as I'm **** when it comes to my cars so I ended up buying a set of Maxton Design sides which fit perfect. You do need to drill into the body of the car but I only used four on each side and it's rock sold. I'll post a picture once I find one

Now that the Yen has dropped to the USD, you can get the Kohlenstoff ones for about $1500.....I am very tempted.

$1572 to be exact! I just wonder what the shipping charges would be and the lead time to get them as I wouldn't mind the front splitter & sides in CF!

I just dm'd another member here Roswell, who ordered some earlier this year. He mentioned that shipping was around $400 to him in Ontario CA. I wonder if we get a group order maybe we can save a bit on shipping.

Anyways once I get the contact in Japan I will post more here.
