Default Finally! The RS aero is done

I don't think I'll do the side skirts, I'm not feeling them.

Very glad I did this. GT3TEK parts, good stuff, great value, great service.

3rd brake light kit was a must-have with all the tail-riding idiots around here.

Mmmmmmmm.......NICE! Personally, I think the RS side skirts really finish it off. But that's me. And I once bought a 996.

i too think the side skirts would look great....but of course, your car, you have to be happy with it! Any fitament issues with the kit? I have heard about issues with the non -OEM stuff...

I like it! I've been thinking of doing the same front and rear but no side skirts. Now I know what it would look like! The drilling of the bodywork is a big turnoff for the side skirts.

Looks absolutely great. Love the color. The tips look a bit low to me.

very nice!

I am in the sideskirt camp too...

there is one screw on each side and it goes on the inside lower edge of the wheel well. Not too bad

again, your car, your choice. Looks great as it sits!

Part of my problem with the skirts is the black on blue, if I EVER chose to do them I'd have to paint them
to match the body, but for now I like it as is.

sideskirts can be attached without drilling by using doublebacked tape. Won't be as secure but will work. The clips used along the length will provide the primary securing points.

Nice, how tough was it to match the color with the new parts?

+993 on what CorrdoBrit said. My side skirts are secured with the supplied double stick tape, and do not move or budge at all. They are firmly secured, just ask Gt3tek supplier to put extra 3m double stick tape on for you or just do it yourself. I would never have done it if I had to drill anywhere on the car.
