Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After 3 years of sitting on my shelves, I am finally installing my OEM aerokit. I went to the paint shop to test fit the parts and the side skirts were over two inches too long. They came from DPS (who is no longer in business) and they have a 986 prefix on the part number, instead of a 996 prefix. My local dealer did not have the part number on their computer. Do I have Boxter side skirts? Can they be cut to fit? Where do I buy the correct skirts? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Can't help you Mark with that answer, but you sure got my attention.

POST 3Original post

There was indeed a Boxster Aerokit. DPS sucked... I think you need to get the proper 996 part.... sorry man...

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I seem to recall sticking up for them...that will teach me.

When I replaced mine I purchased MK1 OEM new from Sunset Porsche. I have also seen used ones for sale on both Rennlist and 6 Speed online. Good luck.

POST 6Original post

That sucks! ... and yes, DPS sucked. It was amazing that they didn't go out of business sooner.

POST 7Original post

Ouch....surely you should be able to sell them.

POST 8Original post

Sorry to hear but your are going to have to fix your own skirt . if you cannot sell then, yes the body shop should know how to shorten them if they can't try someone else it shouldn't be much. I built my own and they where to long I just cut the rear off to fit the rear wheel well/ modified a little and refastened. They make epoxies for just this purpose for fiberglass or ABS.

POST 9Original post

That's always the problem with buying something and then not getting around to installing it until it is too late! Good luck.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. I posted the Boxter skirts for sale. Does anybody have the correct MK1 996 skirts for sale? Mother, I like your idea (your's look great), but I'm not that adventurous.

POST 14Original post

This could be the first 996 to 986 conversion on this site. Keep us posted!

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Negative on the 986 conversion.....Boxter skirts sold to fellow Rennlister.
