997.2 WB side skirt
My final exterior project is finally coming to fruition. I want to white out all the black trim on my white 09 c4s. I bought a new decklid to replace the broken reflector, new grills for the front and all 4 corner pieces for the front and rear bumper. Already did washer nozzles and might do the mirror posts too. The last pieces I need are OEM side skirts to have painted white. I'm horrible with part numbers and have no clue where to find the cheapest ones. I remember they used to be 250 a side and i think now its more like 400. If anyone could throw me a bone with the part numbers It would be a big help.
Thanks in advance as always.

I thought about an upgraded skirt but wouldn't it look funny if I'm leaving the regular S bumpers? I didn't really look into thinking it would look normal at the front and rear with these sporty kind of out of place skirts in the middle.

@63mercedes the GT2 skirts are the best option for a WB 997.2 (part numbers: 9975043638001C - left side sill 9975043648001C - right side sill). We don't sell them but I would definitely use them on my car if my 997.2 was a wide body.
The front bumper choice will still look great with these. Personally I would first install the parts in OEM black and then decide if you really want to go all white, as those lower trim parts take a lot of abuse from road debris.
Below are a few pics of the GT2 sills installed with our WB rear skirts also - note the rear skirts do also provide some added protection for the rear bumper paint as they have a wider profile on the underside: https://emc2design.com/shop-porsche-...rear-splitters

Heres what im working with. Been catching up on maintenance and did some detailing. Now its time. Already had the washer caps done. I have all 4 bumper corner pieces, both front grills, a deckled from a narrow body to get rid of the reflector. I'm going to buy OE side skirts in a few days if a soon to be posted wtb ad doesn't hit... i think i need part numbers 997-504-363-00-01C and 997-504-364-00-01C. If anyone has a new very gently used set let me know. Im going to meet with the painter late next week.
My main question is how was it from the factory, was the side skirt and rear bumper corner painted body colored and the lower fronts black plastic? All body colored? My goal is to make it look like it had every cxx white option possible. I think I'm going to leave the mirror housing black just to break it up a bit. Instinct says all 3 white? It'll definetly make it look lower. Always loved the 80s stuff obviously.

When I got my 997.1 C4s the previous owner had done a crappy paint job on the side skirts. I replaced them with new, and regretted after not just getting the GTS/GT2 ones when I had the chance. I eventually went with something much more aggressive for my side skirts, so it was a non-issue in the end. But, if you are looking to stick with OEM I would highly recommend getting the GTS/GT2, as others have already stated

I don't think it looks right, it has that twist at the end I feel blends into nothing with a basic bumper. With the rear skirt I could see it. Plus they're 575 from suncoast and the others are like 320 the cheapest I found. An extra 500 for a little twist in the plastic i don't think is for me. I still want to do a white center console a numeric and white hardbacks. GT skirts just aint goin down lol.
