Good morning guys, a few people have been asking for a write up on how I was able to do this on my car (991.2 Carerra t). A word of caution-you will have to modify the skirts and wont be able to return them as you will have to cut them extensively. You will also need to drill two small holes into the car on each side (will explain below). What you will need:
Sideskirts (got mine from getporscheparts.com): 991504595901E0 991504596901E0
6x 3/16 fender washers
6x 3/4inch tek screws
2x #8x3/4 sheet metal screws
2x #4x1/2 sheet metal screws
Very sharp blade
Drill with various bits
torx drivers
You will also need to remove anything that will get in the way of the skirt sitting flush against the body
Cut this off from the front Should look like this when done Trim this (keep the speed nut-will need it later) Will need to remove this from the back as it interferes with the rear mud guard Like this
You will also need to trim about 3/4 of an inch from the rear of the skirt on the bottom as it interferes with the lower sill panel on the chassis
Trim inside the tape line Closer pic-you May have to trim more or less depending on your fitment (I noticed I had to trim more on the passenger side than the drivers side)
Now that everything is trimmed, time to work on mounting. I secured mine with 4 screws on the bottom, one in the rear and one in the front. Holds steady and strong.
Remove this fastener from the front of the car Remove this speed nut from the front of the skirt and keep it handy Like so Clip you will need for next step
Here is where you have to drill a hole in the factory mudflap out back
Remove the fasteners on the bottom of the factory mudflap so you can tilt it down Take the speed Nut and install as far back as you can on the mudflap Mark where the screw will go through and drill a hole (I used a 3/16 bit I believe). From there reinstall the speed nut and mud flap
This will serve as the rear mount for the skirt. You will now need to drill a corresponding hole in the back of the skirt and mount using one of the two methods below
Using #8 x3/4 inch sheet metal screw counter sunk and then covered with a piece of Matt black vinyl (use a hole punch to get a perfectly round circle) Or you can use a #8 tek screw and cover. Both are not too noticeable once covered in Matt black vinyl
Time to make the rest of the mounts. Utilizing the existing hole in the front of the skirt (where you removed the speed nut) mount to the body using the existing body mount and faster here
Mount using the oem location here You will drill the tek screws into these three other spots on the bottom of the skirts on each side Like so
Now it’s time to take care of the front. Here is where you have to drill a hole into the body-super tiny.
Pull the front into position and drill a corresponding hole for the #4 screw to hold Countersunk and screw installed End result Covered screw head in Matt black vinyl
Also for those interested I added front mudflaps as well. I mounted these using two extra speed nuts I removed from the skirts and trimmed the profile of the mudflap the match the rear oem flaps
Mudflaps from Amazon (after trimming on one side) Using the oem rear mudflap as a template Put a slit in the fender liner and install the speed nut Drill the other hole directly into the fender liner to hold it in position. Drivers side installed Passenger side installed.
