Thanks, Max! As far as I know the side skirts are part of the factory aerokit. I think Gert sells something that if not the same, sure looks the same. Check out www.carnewal.com.

I just repainted the car and wasn't sure that I would put the side skirts back on, but with the tail (which was a must have for me) and the new front and rear caps, the side skirts "complete" the package.

The aerokit spoiler looks great!

If I where to get a rear spoiler (which I am) I'd get the TT one though..

I think the 993 looks better without any spoiler. But if you must have one then I would go for either the RS or tt spoiler.

I think that particular spoiler u have looks like its been "transplanted"....sort of sitting up too high....before i get killed i will add i do like aero kits in general but prefer the examples that hug the rear better (sorry not sure correct styles but like the TT version)......Georges ditch it and put the stock back on ...which looks way cool lifting and lowering at speed!!!

Georges,
I think that spoilers are a very personal choice for people. People's personal choicesare usually driven by certain needs. Some needs are visual and some needs are functional. For me I was looking for functional need. I track my car almost soley these days and wanted the stability that can only be had with a front and rear spoler that reduces lift at speed. (BTW, these cars do lift at high speed and tend to feel a little light without good aero parts. Particularly if you only have the rear spoiler and no front)

Then there is the visual. Before I had the RS CS areo stuff, people looked at the car. But when I put the RS CS stuff on there the looks and complements were and still are constant whenever I take the car out, street or track. Now I am sure there are many out there that see my car and say, "what a rediculous looking car!", and never say anything, but then, who cares, they never say it to me So for me I ended up with a win in fucntional and a win in visual.

I would suggest that you balance the front with the back as I think all the areo kits in their various forms look best with both the front and back (and side skirts in some cases).

So make your own choice based upon your needs and what you like. In the end you will be most happy and that is all that counts!

Count me in as one who much prefers the stock spoiler for a street car. Any of those big wings just look too "racer-boy" for me when sitting waiting for the light to change. To me the 993 says so much box stock that any add-on exterior pieces are "over-the-top" if you know what I mean. Cheers,
