GT3 side skirts completed my carbon roof/mirror look and grounds the car. Love them.

Relatively easy install but it's worth buying the tire ramps to give you a few inches so you can look underneath, use some 2x4's in a pinch. Take note of how the skirt covers both the front and rear wheel wells so you can be sure it looks the same when you put the new one on. Best advice is to watch the install videos on Youtube first. Just need to remove four screws, two torx 20 and two torx 30, plus the snap in clips underneath (maybe 8 of them). The four metal clips (take them off old skirt and put on new) can easily get moved when installing the skirt so be aware of that, if they get moved during install you can't screw it in and will have to pull off again. Took me three times for the first one to get it seated correct and FYI I pulled skirt from the front and installed from the front, that seems to be best, then you snap it in clip by clip. And be sure the skirt tucks slightly under the car bottom plastic, otherwise won't seat cleanly if on top of it.

Should take you no more than an hour for first one, and 30 minutes for second one.

Have you considered building a pit, or just a flat floor?

the pit is useless… you have to build a 4-column bridge.

Flat floor for now, I'll add Quick Jacks later for oil changes. We are really pleased with the color and the metal which is a board & batten look so fasteners are concealed.

Not sure about reasons, but when homes are being built the concrete is always poured after the garage I framed and built out.

Not quite "for your 992," but "because of my 992." I spent $40 for a mug.
