Default GT2 Sideskirts installed on the RS

Very nice mod. Easy, quick. Not that expensive. Really looks quite a bit better than stock.....if that's possible!

I was considering getting new side skirts as mine have become a little stone chipped. What's the cost on those suckers? Is it a direct replacement or is there some fab work involved?

The cost from Sunset Porsche is about $600 for the pair in black....which I highly recommend over painting. If you drive your car at all black is the way to go. And yes it's a direct replacement. It honestly looks more like what the car should have come with. The skirt basically twists along the side instead of being just straight.

As far as the Euro Seats go, I absolutely love them. I'm 5'9 and about 165. I fit great in them and they are very comfortable....much more so than you'd expect. I sought out getting the nomex covered ones. They are more durable in terms of always looking brand new and they really look most appropriate for what that car is....at least to me!

I've got the even lower cup bumper which scrapes a lot, but is cheaper and more flexible- so when you hit cone that just happens to be on the track it just bends and comes right back to shape!

The ground clearance on the skirts? Or the front bumper?
The clearance on the new skirts aren't any different than stock. The best solution to the low front end is to have a backup replacement in your garage and don't worry about it.

It does look great! Awesome idea!
Any pictures of the standard one (w/o the GT2 sideskirt) for comparison?
