Be aware, you may have serious clearance issues with them. I was going to run the full Vorsteiner kit on my GT4 until I learned you can't fit a jack or lift under the side skirts. Decided to just run the front spoiler and rear diffusor instead.

Surprised, I heard from some local Porsche shops they were a pain to get a lift under. Also heard the standard hand jacks were an issue as well. Your pics certainly look like a jack or lift would have trouble getting under. 😉

Although I do love the look!

This could just be me, but why not build some drive-on lifting pads for the car, to get it up to the additional clearance you need?

I say worth it....because these cars look great with the full kit on em.

I did this with my old Gen IV viper, and it worked like a charm. car was absolutely slammed.

I've been considering the Vorsteiner kit. How are the side skirts mounted to the car? Also, how does your exhaust look with the diffuser? I've seen some complaints pse with v. diffuser, what are your thoughts?

It fits fine and the PSE works great.
