You can try changing the skirts for some RUF ones, just a thought, it will look much cleaner and less busy.

I like the Gemballa skirts, just not the fact the body had to be cut to accommodate them. Do the RUF skirts require a similar modification?

Sonny, Can you post some photos of the Ruf skirts? I don't think I've ever seen them. And to think... another Ruf "goodie" I'll have to add to my list!

I believe these are examples of the RUF skirts on a CTR2 and Turbo R.

I'd get rid of the gemballa skirts, add rufs and put the s wing back on.

I have Sid's Gemballa skirts if anyone wants them. Just pay the shipping.

+3......S wing & more subtle Ruf skirts

that combo equals "just enough" without going overboard and being tacky....best balance. I love my melted on stock wing but with Ruf bumpers and skirting the S wing to me looks best.

Default Thanks all

Thanks, the new owner will get both wings and can pick what he/she likes best or swap on and off as maybe their mood changes.... I had the S wing on and it looked great...but now I have the 993TT wing on and love it!

With the skirts the same, someone can leave or remove depending on the look they prefer...

I have had a few people that commented on swapping out the black wheels and others that love them ... Its all personal preference. Wheels can easily be refinsished back to stock finish etc.... but for me, love the contrast!

Thanks...

The side skirts look good to some and not to others.. just as mickfluff mentioned regarding the black wheels.

I was going to say your car mickfluff looks amazing... black wheels or not.

Question, where does one purchase the RUF skirts and does anyone know the cost and if they would cover previous cut lines for the Gemballa skirts? I am guessing the purchase would be out of RUF in Dallas?

Thx,
Bryan

+1 on people's varying tastes. I would also like to know if those Ruf skirts are available, and if there are any difficulties in installing them. Also, RUF USA is no longer in Dallas... they are now up in Michigan.
