I love those hips so am torn about whether these are a net positive contribution to the car. I do like the added aggressiveness from some angles, but I just don't know...

Thoughts?
I think everyone who has these installed need to post more pictures so the rest of us could get a better idea.

And I think these more subtle side skirts that look like the Turbo ones may be more fitting...

I think this looks great. Does it lose any ground clearance? I think it may save a few stone chips so there can be some functional benefit beyond its appearance.

I thought about it, then I was thinking it would get chipped really easily.

Your car looks great but I think we are looking for how it looks painted on a 992 C2 or C4 S.
I'm not completely sold yet. It looks good but something about it without the rest of the kit is rattling around for me.

Somehow it looks good on your car. It might be the contrast on the lighter color cars that gives it more of a natural distinct separation like it was intentionally separated vs blending in

My thought is to leave this unpainted in contrast with GT Silver. It shows the existing body curves while protecting from stone chips. I just need my 911 built and delivered first :-0

Yeah....I have a GT silver with Classic wheels. I'm leaning towards getting it but want to see more cars w GT silver before I take the plunge.
