Car looks great. You were asking about side skirts, here's mine with them - i don't see much difference!

Interesting, I did the splitters and the side skirts and skipped the tail.

You are right - my CoA says the splitter, wing and side skirts are Aero II. Is my front splitter [ which is the same as the original poster's] RS, Aero II or something else?

Do you have a photo of RS side skirts for my reference?

Did you see the recent thread about 993 splitters, side skirts, spoilers, wings, etc. ? - all very complicated and not much was clarified for me.

I think it looks awesome the way it is, maybe smooth the front & rear bumper and call it a day!

no fitment issues, I had seen enough pics and read enough posts about the GT3TEK stuff, I would have preferred OEM parts but they are stupidly expensive

there was no matching done. I figured that my paint was in good enough shape, I keep it well waxed and covered when at work during the summer. I figured it was worth the try to just prep paint and install, maybe midnight blue is an easy color ? I wouldn't have thought so, just got lucky I guess

Thank you. The front splitters and rear wing are from GT3TEK:

nice upgrades! Gratulations!

i would like to ask something:

has anybody seen the GT3TEK parts side-by-side with OEM parts? i just wondering, wether is there any difference between the original Porsche parts (especially the wing) and this aftermarket products in shape and fitment.

The reason of my question is that I'm also planning to put RS parts to my 993 and this is the first time i heard about GT3TEK. Their price is really interesting, if the quality is OK.

thanks for the answers in advance!

regards to everybody!

That was my reasoning in asking: I've heard it wasn't easy to match it. Maybe you did get lucky!

That looks great!! I think the sideskirts are subtle but do complete the look. Even if you decide not to, car looks really goos as-is.
