Currently in the design stage. Thinking just doing it for my car only. But if 996tt crowd likes them, I might make it into production. Who knows.

Since my rear wheels are GT2 12" width with 5mm spacers. It needs something subtle to compliment the width.

Okay, so why would someone without that (or similar) setup buy it?

I would need it to extend all the way the down so it protected the bottom of the bumper cover. The lower bumper cover gets sand blasted by the the road grit R compounds throw off when driving on track.

I think it will be very subjective. Some will like it and some won't. Your question is also a good question for Jaguar F-type that has them. For me it make since for my set up. What you see is an unfinished design.

I like what you have there. But I wish the profile could integrated with with the surface of the fenders. See attachment what I kind of imagined it. To each his own I guess.
