After 3 years of sitting on my shelves, I am finally installing my OEM aerokit. I went to the paint shop to test fit the parts and the side skirts were over two inches too long. They came from DPS (who is no longer in business) and they have a 986 prefix on the part number, instead of a 996 prefix. My local dealer did not have the part number on their computer. Do I have Boxter side skirts? Can they be cut to fit? Where do I buy the correct skirts? Thanks.

Can't help you Mark with that answer, but you sure got my attention.

There was indeed a Boxster Aerokit. DPS sucked...

I think you need to get the proper 996 part.... sorry man...

I seem to recall sticking up for them...that will teach me.

When I replaced mine I purchased MK1 OEM new from Sunset Porsche. I have also seen used ones for sale on both Rennlist and 6 Speed online.

Good luck.

That sucks!

... and yes, DPS sucked. It was amazing that they didn't go out of business sooner.

Ouch....surely you should be able to sell them.

Sorry to hear but your are going to have to fix your own skirt . if you cannot sell then, yes the body shop should know how to shorten them if they can't try someone else it shouldn't be much. I built my own and they where to long I just cut the rear off to fit the rear wheel well/ modified a little and refastened. They make epoxies for just this purpose for fiberglass or ABS.

That's always the problem with buying something and then not getting around to installing it until it is too late! Good luck.

Thanks guys. I posted the Boxter skirts for sale. Does anybody have the correct MK1 996 skirts for sale? Mother, I like your idea (your's look great), but I'm not that adventurous.

This could be the first 996 to 986 conversion on this site. Keep us posted!

Negative on the 986 conversion.....Boxter skirts sold to fellow Rennlister.
