Interesting. Meaning you don't use them? Is that the only way they are to be installed?

They weigh approx 7-10lb each. I don't think I should be putting that weight on the side skirts. The blades are just blades without drill holes. Also, the blades are not flexible to the point i feel a speed bump could crack them.

I have a set of TechArt side skirts in my garage that I took off of my C2S when I bought it. The PO put them on to protect the rockers but they just never looked right to me and they made it harder to get into the vehicle because they stuck out quite far.

The DIY route using the 991 side skirts is not very hard but it requires a lot of patience and time for those who really want a good OEM look:

These are Techart side skirts. I have them on mine and got a bit of a bias for them as an option

I had these on my C4S when I first bought my car. They needed to be removed because they were blocking the yellowing rock guards that needed to be replaced. And adding insult to injury, they were for a NB car and my C4S being a WB, they used caulking to fill the gaps. It was horrible. I still have them sitting on the side with no plans on ever using them.

been meaning to post this for a while

Z-art CF side splitters for narrow body cars. The styling is based on the 992 turbo side splitters.

While me and my brother have the standard glossy finish CF ones, they now come in 2 different finishes (matte + forged cf)

fitment is excellent (my body shop was impressed + surprised), I had the mud-flaps cut a little so I could still keep them on.

Silicon glue application - the kit does come with 3m double sided tape as well.

I've uploaded as many photos from as many angles as possible. Note how the design is perfectly in width with the rear 1/4 panel on the NB cars. does not *overflare* beyond that and imo looks very factory issue, i noticed immediately that the style was based on the oem 992 turbo splitters when the 992 turbo was first introduced.

NO affiliation - just a customer.

How are these mounted? I looked at them (or something similar) in the past and asked how they were mounted to the car and got the reply, "Sheet metal screws". It was at that point that I decided they weren't for me.
