Default Side skirts photo?

Anyone have a photo of a 02+ C2 with sideskirts but no aero nose or wing?

Nice. Thanks. Do you have any other angles? Assume those are the cup skirts?

Yes I do, but not at work. Yes, they are the Aerokit II (Cup II) side skirts. IMHO, they are the single most important visual improvement. The give the car visual substance.

At speeds above 125, I sometimes feel that my car could feel a little more planted. It is not unstable by any means, but I have been considering installing more Porsche Aero parts, perhaps the rest of the Aerokit II. I go back and forth, because I think that my car looks elegant now, and it does not have any "serious" problems at speeds above 125. I am afraid that the front nose of the Aerokit II will create clearance problems for me and the rear wing will look either ricer or GT3 wannabe (and both might affect resale). I am still thinking . . .

Thanks. I have clearance issues where I live so I am not lowering, and have done all the racing I'm going to do in this life. Can you post or PM the pix next time you are near them please?

Will do. You won't regret the sideskirts.

They look like the Carrera Side Skirts (have more of a rounded pattern). The ones on Todd's are the Cup II side skirts which are more defined in the lines.

You're welcome Lee. Glad I could help!

The skirts are more of a prefernce than anything. It just depends on which look you like better.

Default these are the regular Carrera flairs

Notice that they do not have as sharp of a crease in them as the Cup skirts

Orient,

Is that the stock nose, and do you have other angles? TIA

Nice! Thanks.

Any installation issues with this version on an 02+?
