I used to have a serious disdain for painted sideskirts and the like, but that looks really good!

I never liked plastic parts on any of my cars and especially in the case of the gts. Those wide hips needed a wide look skirts IMO.
Also since me favourite 997 (Sport Classic) also had them painted made me go for it.

Wow ! Yours look amazing too. Shots like these make me put the aero kit on. Your turn to paint those side skirts maybe ?

It really depends on the angle I think. Sometimes it looks perfect others just a add-on.

For example... This looks great




What else is out there ? only aerokit lip and this.

Since GTS is equipped with aero bumper from factory, decided to use this opportunity as its the only bumper that could fit the SC lip directly.
