Default 991.2 Narrow Body Side Skirts - Maxton

I ordered side skirts from Maxton Design, specified for a 991.1 body, I've seen previous posts that it will fit the 991.2 body (may not be perfect). IMO, I think it fits and sits fine. You will need to drill holes to mount the side skirts, I don't plan on using the mounting hardware that came with the skirts, I think 3 self-tapping screws w/ flat washers front-center-rear on each side should be enough coupled with industrial double-side tape.

I have not completely installed the skirts and I'm still contemplating due to that I'm lowered and concerned about scraping going over speed bumps and nasty freeway slopes here in NorCal Bay Area, bridge to road transition is horrible. I may have to order an ultra-low profile floor jack too if any...

On the 991.1 are they full bolt on, or does it also need drilling? The web page does not have instructions that I could find...

You will need to drill with the self tapping screws. I used 3 on each side and they are solid.

Did anyone put the side skits on a 991.2 yet and can share their experience. Were they also Maxton or another?

I have yet to install mines - been travelling for work. Fit is fine IMO, but I plan to trim the front and rear inside part of the side skirts as they are too close to the jack points. And yes, you need to drill holes for mounting. I will post pics as soon as my install is complete.

How high do they come up on the side of the car? Are we talking like an inch or so?

Rennline told me the carbon ones they are making come up about 3/4"-1" on the outside of the rocker for their model.

Resurrecting this thread. Where does one drill the holes for the Maxton narrow body skirts? Is it in metal (gahhhh!) or plastic under the car?

I'd probably drill in plastic trim. Metal of the actual sill, probably not. Which is why I ask.

The bottom side of the car is metal. It's easy to do. I made a small hole (smaller than the self tapping screw just to get it started) and went from there. Super easy

It says on their site gloss but in your pics they look mat. is that their definition of gloss black?
it looks like about 200 bucks and 200 bucks shipping. i suppose overall not too bad comparing to getting stock Porsche parts and having to modify them. My concern is tapping holes in your metal. just asking for water ingress and corrosion. dont know if im comfortable with that part of this.
