Did you order from Suncoast? If so, when? I ordered on 11/18 and they cancelled it due to lack of visibility on stock and have told me it's still on backorder so I haven't placed another order with them. A little annoyed that these seem to be shipping for everyone else.

I ordered on 12/27 from Suncoast. It stated it was on backorder when I placed the order along with a keychain. It is expected to arrive on the 19th per UPS.

I literally emailed on 12/27 asking if I should re-order that day, and he said they were not taking orders at that time. Frustrating.

Ordered but still waiting for more pics of those who've ordered and/or installed. Trying to figure out whether to leave mine unpainted on my Chalk 992.

No updates saying out that far tho. Mine said Jan 2022.

Yes please share pics and instructions if done on your own. Contemplating that vs taking into the shop! I have a set of jack stands which would make it easier.

I got an email saying in stock around 19th Jan so am waiting on my order over the holidays. Didn't get the UPS part tho. Did they send you a tracking number too?

Received mine Friday and did install today. I am a fan. Pretty straight forward but you’ll need to use the hardware from your current side skirts as the new ones don’t come with any. I did not use a lift though it would’ve been a lot easier. You’ll need a stubby screwdriver if no lift. Steps and pics in order.

1) remove three screws in rear and one in front (t20 bit and t30 bit). also remove the big plastic screws
2) pull out current skirts with some finesse and brute force
3) remove excess plastic from tabs of new skirts
4) transfer over metal clips to new skirts
5) insert new skirts with tabs aligned
6) replace t20/t30 screws and plastic “screws”

Planning to wash the car this week and get some proper photos, but hope this helps in the meantime.



Stubby screwdriver

Three screws to remove on rear. One in front (not pictured). This was when I installed sport cats, unfortunately did not have lift access for this.

Old skirt and new skirt

Excess plastic on tabs of new skirt. Break off.

Metal clips to transfer

Finished product. Don’t mind the dirty car.

Looks great. Is there any change to entry/egress? Any chance of accidentally breaking that flange if your passenger is being careless?

It is pretty flexible plastic so not something I’m gonna lose sleep over 🤷‍♂️

Looks great. Thanks for the tutorial. Looks like easy job with a pair of ramps and/or jack stands to gain a bit of access if a lift is not available. Can you comment again on how much force you needed to remove the OEM skirts? Was it a tug an release or were they otherwise attached? Also just the 3 attachment tab transfers on each end as pictured? Only see one end which looks like rear pictured? Front end similar w/same set of screws? Also any better pics to show contrast between paint and unpainted side skirts? Did you leave yours matte black or paint them to match your car?

Still waiting on mine which are back ordered by Suncoast now.

Three torx screws in rear, one in front. Same number of corresponding metal clips. Once the screws and plastic screws are out, you can yank the old skirt out with reasonable force.

I am keeping mine matte black, more pics to follow once I can get the car washed.

As requested, pic of the matte black contrast to (dirty) night blue metallic.

I love night blue metallic. IDK why they took it away.

So are these GT3 side skirts the same as the Sport Design skirts in Matte Black available on the GTS models?
