This makes it look like it was installed crooked but that's the way it's suppose to look.

I'm think "rear bumper aero pieces".....this is from a car I looked at during my search:
I am thinkig about getting my front bumper resprayed because it's chipped from the Reno dessert from its previous life....and if so, was thinking of getting the rear bumper over rides painted like in the picture and maybe get the rear aero pieces installed/painted.
What are your thoughts on them? Anybody have a part number or name of the part?
Thanks!
Paul, they are "rear GT Trim". I have them on my car.

There are quite a lot of cars that didn't have these because the owners thought they were ugly. I'm not a huge fan of them but I have them as I think they "complete" the look IMO and brings down the rear bumper line to match the sideskirts.
The one thing that bothers me is that the rear trims don't line up with the engraved line on the lower part of the bumper. This makes it look like it was installed crooked but that's the way it's suppose to look. Argh...
I believe they're called rear spats. MK1 Aero kit shown and described in this Rennlist thread

(right) are the part numbers.
Yeap, came on ours too.
I used to think cars missing them looked funny, but now I've seen so many without them that I could go either way.
Gotta have the Taco though
^ Your website calls 'em "skirts". But maybe that's just for the Boxster ones.
And, if you're correct with the "spats" terminology, dporto is just going to be impossible to live with from now on. Same for Alansglide.
Personally, I've always called them spats, but I've seen people call them trim pieces or rear skirt trim/pieces. In the thread I linked to individuals call them out as spats as well.
They are officially called "Rear GT Trim" per Porsche.
I've also called these parts "Spats" before but that was when I had a Subaru and when I was conversing with the English folks more often . I think that term came from England if I'm not mistaken.
BTW PelicanParts, you shouldn't have provided that link as peeps are already confused between the Turbo and C4S as someone covered up the red reflector on their C4S. Your link posted has a NB with a Turbo rear wing. I don't think you should be confusing people further. lol.
Touche!
I blame IPv4 CIDRs and regexs* eating all my brain power and thus allowing me to leave such an opening.
* If you don't know I don't suggest you look those terms up...
Yeah to make it more confusing, the Porsche Tequipment Katalog refers it as "GT Side Trims" while Porsche's Option code of "XAD" refers it as "Rear GT Fins".
However the "Rear GT Trim" seems to be the most popular term when referring to this part.
Exactly my initial thoughts too. What I find funny is peeps trying to put these on their 997's trying to be a 996. LOL
Now that really looks out of place on a 997.
Also 997 peeps trying to install 996 Aero rear spoiler on the 997's...
