Those are the aerokit side skirts, which you can get from Gert for $645 plus shipping. They require prep and paint, of course, which will run maybe $300? And those are aerokit (or possibly Techart, which look the same) front splitters. Overall that's a good street look, IMHO, but I'm shying away from those skirts since I'm installing RS front splitters (and it's nice to be consistent) plus RS skirts don't need paint and thus won't get chipped up at the track.

Wow, I really like those aerokit side skirts.

Eric, do you really think it would affect the handling that much if you were to mix those skirts w/ the RS splitters and tail?

Is that picture of the black one with side-skirts backwards? Look at the windshield wipers sitting parked to the passenger's side...

Some people like to reverse the windsheild wiper park position to get better visibility.

I did it on an SC I used to have.

I wouldn't do it again. If there is slush or snow it piles it up in front of your line of site instead of piling it on the passenger side.

nope..wipers are on the drivers side (you may not be able to see the steering wheel in the pic but you can tell by the location of the mirrors)...it's a euro-spec car so wipers rest on the right hand side.

That's a U.K. license plate.
It's a RHD car, so as you point out, those wipers are sitting on the drivers side.

Guys - Sorry I've been out of touch... in vacation in Hawaii. According to Gert, shipping to SoCal will be around $100 or so. Maybe its better to go with Sunset Porsche for $880 and pay $20 shipping?

www.v-zweeden.com offers the fibreglass versions for 350 Euro ($455). I do not know if that comes with the mounting hardware or not though.

But I'm sure the fiberglass versions would require paint and prep which I would bet could be $200 to $400 + the hassle of getting it done. The originals are bolt on and go.

Yes, and they will chip and crack at first contact. The Original's are very durable (tabs not withstanding )

Ok ... ok ... I'm convinced!

I guess we will go with Suncoast if we have enough people now.
