Side Skirts

When I bought my car there was a little damage from the previous owner from jacking up the car. I'm looking for side skirts that would look good with the OEM front and rear bumper on a 996 C4S. Anyone do only the side skirts? Got pics? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

you guys need to understand this concept - go big or stay stock.

doing just sideskirts will look weird. you need to balance the bottom out.

if anything, i'd do the front and rear wing first before doing sideskirts if you're going to do it one area at a time.

if your lowers haven't been painted body color yet, try that. there are not a lot of sideskirt options on the 996 wides.

I was thinking about just covering the cracked paint with side skirts. How about adding a front lip as well to the front bumper?

Benjamin Choi just wrote a great review on the side skirts he got from Tony at Precision Porsche. Search is your friend.....

No seriously.......seems like Tony has been getting some good business and should be able to hook you up.

I saw that thread but not sure if that would look right with the oem front and rear bumpers. Maybe the best bet would be to repaint? I'll try to post a pic tonight.

Yup... the Techart look is just too aggressive for the otherwise stock body thus the reason why I didn't pipe in about them.
