Default 993 NB Rocker Panel Options

Looking for some nice rocker panels (ie sideskirts) for my NB. I love the look of the WB's from the side, but have yet to find any NB stuff that looks as nice. Came across these on Rennspd. Anyone installed these? Love to see a few pictures of your NB side skirts!

PS: Any way to fit WB Sideskirts on a NB?

I prefer au naturel for skirts. I have yet to see a bolt-on thing that I like. Sorry.

Try the gt3tek RS sideskirts. I have them. They look factory, and fit is easy. Installation time under 1 hour.

I have a very nice pair of Factory Aerokit 1b side skirts I bought from a fellow RLer but never mounted them. They are GP White and even the paint is in great shape. $400 plus actual shipping costs. That's what I paid for them...

It is time to clean out the garage a bit more after the sale of my 993.

PM me if you are interested.

No drilling. I wouldn't even consider them if they did. The rear most part has double stick 3M tape that attaches to the lip on the rear fender. I've had mine on for almost a year and no problems coming loose or anything. It uses the pre drilled holes that were already there from the old rocker with same screws/washers. Here is an installation video.

Default how do these work when changing the oil?

Just curious and regrets for hi-jacking this thread, but

with these installed how do you remove the lower cover on the factory rocker panel when changing the tank-mounted oil filter?

Although not strictly necessary, I like to pull the factory rocker panel cover off to avoid splashing oil all over it when changing the tank-mounted oil filter.

Do others use the "form-a-funnel" gizmo or some other neat trick to avoid getting oil on the panel?

TIA
