Default Anyone know what side skirts these are?

I have been wanting to add some side skirts to my 02 Cab but do not necessaily want to change the front bumper and/or add a rear wing. With that in mind I want a side skirt that is low key. I think I found pictures of what I want. Does anyone know which side skirt this is and if the front bumper is standard stock bumper for an 02? What do you think about side skirts without changiong the bumper? Thanks!

Maybe MkI (or poor replicas) and they were installed VERY poorly. That seam at the front should not be exposed....which leads me to beleive they are copies and some holes are just not lined up very well.

Nope. Both MkI and MkII fit all 996's.

Yeah, they both fit, but the lines of the MKII line up with the front bumper of the '02+, while the MKI does not. IMHO, MKI looks great with '99-'01 and MKII looks great with the '02+

It makes less of a difference with the Front Turbo bumpers, although i would still say MK II.

The standard '99-'01 bumper and the GT3 MKI bumper look great with the MKI skirts given the lines. The lines on these bumpers and sideskirts are more flowing.

The standard '02+ bumper and the standard bumper that came on the GT3 (which is the same as the bumper on the aerokit II) look great with the MK II skirts given the lines. The lines on these bumpers and sideskirts are more angular and hard.

The turbo bumper doesn't really have any lines on the side of it, so it just doesn't matter as much, although I still think the MK II sideskirts look better with it (like the 40th anniversary).
