Anyone have a picture of what the Wheel Arch Extensions look like? I can find lots of mention of them in the Porsche literature, but no photos. They recommend them for the Off Road Package.

I'm not normally big on that sort of thing, but they might just provide some rock and gravel protection off-road and some idiot door protection in parking lots; so I'm thinking of adding that option to my order. However, I would like to see how they look first.

Anyone? TIA! (Aren't we newbies fun! )

Thanks. Any idea how much they stick out? 1"?, 2"?

Not sure, but they look very similar to what comes standard on the GTS and Turbo. Take a look at the gallery images on the Porsche site to see these other models to see if you agree. I read on another site that they are only 14 mm (.55 in) on these models.

Suncoast sells them, so maybe you could call to ask. Good luck.

Thanks. 14 mm is nothing to be concerned about.

Suncoast looks to be a bit expensive. They're $750 when ordered as an option for a build.

It's not Suncoast. I'm sure that Sunset Imports would be about the same, perhaps a bit cheaper.
It's just the nature of factory build vs dealer install.

P.S. You forgot about the cost of paint.

If you know you want them, then build option is definitely the way to go.

I have a set for MY03 through MY06. Send me a PM.

I say go full aftermarket...retrofit some arches off a jeep, get a light bar, lift kit, and the trucker girl mud flaps.
