GTS doesn’t come with side skirts optioned by default. You can add the same SportDesign side skirts that can be added to Carrera/S builds. The GT3 has unique, more prominent skirts (just look at the photos).

Yes, I was aware that the SD side skirts were an option in either matt black or car color but wasn't sure on the GT3 look..thanks

I just had these side skirts installed on my Chalk C4S by the local Porsche-recommended body shop. I noticed that the large plastic mounting screws don't seem to be securely fastened. I can easily turn each one with my hand and pop it out. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Seems like they can easily rotate with road vibration over time and fall out. Thanks.

They have a snap in feature that holds them in place (little ridge to get over). Not very hard snap but when you turn slowly you can feel it. But you need to have them properly pushed in or they don't snap and when the side skirts are not mounted correctly they will not snap in. However, if that is the case they will just fall out during install and you would know.

Yes, this is normal. They are easy to remove with your hands, but require a twist to do so.

Completely normal. They won’t fall out. If they aren’t in all the way they will fall out while installing.

@getPorscheSilverSpringParts this part # 992-807-100-B-OK1 does work with the 992 GTS Coupe front end right (as long as it's not the aero kit)?

Yes, works on the GTS. Will work with aero kit as well; it replaces the side skirts.

That front splitter is for the standard 992 bumper. The GTS has the SportDesign front bumper. That part is not intended (and likely wouldn't fit, but I guess I don't know with certainty) for 992s with the SportDesign front or the 992 GTS.
