Default GT3 Side Skirts on C2?

Does anyone know or guess, if the side skirts from the GT3 will fit a 992 C2S? It looks like they might but the lower body may be different.

So got the skirts in today, took me about 45 minutes to remove and Install the new skirts.

I have a few adds to anyone else here installing these.

DO NOT REMOVE THE PLASTIC TABS ON THESE.

The tabs are meant to be bent to reinforce skirt.

see pics below

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone try it but i’m pretty sure it would work as the GT3’s front and rear fenders are the same width as the standard 911’s.

That would be cool if they did since the extra flare might help protect the rear quarter panel.

Maybe. There is another thread here about swapping the Turbo skirts with the base car and it was determined it can NOT be done.

The GT3 has wider hips than the C2. So, that would be a no on side skirts.

The GT3 has different cooling airflow at the front. So, that would be a no on the front fascia.

The GT3 doesn’t have intercoolers that need air routed to them. So, that would be a no on the engine cover.

Thanks, replicas it is (though tbh I'm hoping techart comes out with some better stuff, like GT StreetR vibes but with carrera instead of turbo)

The gt3 “style” side skirts from Darwin would obviously work on the C2, if one really wanted to go that route and spend that much. They’re not exactly the same dimensions as the real gt3 skirts but give a very similar effect.

Moshammer automotive from Germany also just released their gt3 style of skirts on their website.

At first I thought the Darwin sideskirts were quite expensive, but when I looked at the Darwin DryCF BKSS Style Side Skirts they're a few hundred more than TechArt sideskirts of unknown material and a few hundred less than the Darwin CFRP GT3 Style Side Skirts (my goal is to build a batmans c2s cabrio but I'm not in a rush to do it, so price is less of a concern than what am I getting for my money) ...

now wondering if replica GT3 style is better than BKSS style or etc.

TechArt: $1649
Darwin GT3 Style FRP: $1980
Darwin GT3 Style CFRP: $2530
Darwin BKSS Style CFRP: $1750
Darwin BKSS DryCF: $2350
Moshammer: $1000 or so

The most common "carbon fiber" found is CFRP which is composed of a fiberglass base and baked to achieve a carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Most of the more commonly purchased items within the industry are CFRP variants.
DRYCF autoclave carbon fiber is generally found on high end automobile monocoques for the benefits of having a higher strength to weight ratio and durability. This however generally increases price points dramatically and generally will not be utilized entirely for every "carbon fiber" aspect of the car.

GT3 is the same width as a regular Carrera. I was also wondering if GT3 side skirts would fit so I also compared the configurator top view pictures of the standard Carrera, GT3 and turbo. Carrera and GT3 are basically same width. Turbo is wider. As indicated in this comparison chart, GT3 and Carrera are both 72.9" wide. Turbo is 74.9" wide:

Hey. What happened to your red C2S? This is you, right?

https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=45

If it is you, the picture you posted on the F80 forum inspired me to order my 992... which is kind of a copy of yours! LOL
