Default Sport Side Skirts

I'm still working on the build of my new C4S before I lock- and I added the Sport Design package to the car. Now I am on the fence with the sport design side skirts. On the configurator I'm not seeing much difference--but wondering if they really do make a difference- especially on an Agate Gray car. Thanks!

I believe standard is unpainted black skirt similar in finish to the front lip. Sport side skirts painted look nice (I wouldn't do matte).

Many folks post buy change to GT3 side skirts: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1264...ispreloading=1

I much prefer the look with side skirts... but its a personal call and sometimes a simple/classic looking build looks great without. you do you.

Thanks. Have you seen any sports design packages without the optional sport design side skirts?

I always went with the you don't notice it as much on darker cars. On a chalk or white or red maybe. On black or blue or agate, I would probably skip it.

The difference is definitely visible on lighter cars. On Agate you might not notice it as much. I have them on my Chalk car.

I agree, hardly noticeable on black, grey, or GB cars. But on white, chalk, guards red, yellow, they definitely look great especially with the sport design kit.

See pics below, it may help you decide.

I didn't really have an opinion until I got a car with the side skirts. To me, they complete the look Porsche is going for with the sport design bumpers/package.

Isn't that the default GTS?

My god im loving the Base wheels on it. Just WOW
I would never upgrade the wheels on the Base, I would get it with stock wheels and then afterwards I would get a set of OEM 20 21 to have on the side

Thanks.
Northern California roads aren't the smoothest, so decided to stay with the base wheels to get a little more tire when dodging potholes.

Even on black I think its noticeable... especially on a targa where you can't order the lower suspension I feel like it helps lower the car visually.
