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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone fit the sideskirts with stock front bumper? Would it look good or odd? Any pics?

POST 2Original post

Dubai: The car came with the side skirts and not front or rear upgrade.

POST 3Original post

Dubai, Many cars come optioned that way, the side skirts look best with the Aero front bumper, they compliment each other and it looks well proportioned.

POST 5Original post

Yetis: Your car looks really good!! I might have to get sideskirts now (i was holding off because I was waiting to get full-aerokit), but now that I've seen yours, I think I'll go sideskirts only to start.

POST 6Original post

Here's my car with OEM skirts; no aero front or rear spoilers (yet)

POST 7Original post

Nah, got to have the front too if you go for the sideskirts. Looks like the wrong front bumper has been fitted. Ciao, Johannes E.

POST 8Original post

Anyone know of a good place to pick up some sideskirts? What's installation like on these? Drilling involved or just the usual two sided tape and some push fasteners?

POST 9Original post

I agree it looks a bit strange. You should get the new side skirts though if you do as they look sooo much better

POST 10Original post

That car is a Pre-Owned display at Princeton Porsche, NJ

POST 11Original post

Looks really poor. Unbalanced. Go with the whole kit or nothing.

POST 12Original post

Hey The best place to buy the sideskirts is from a guy name Dayton at www.departstop.com , great guy who cares about his customers satisfaction. I have bought off him , and think thats the only place to buy ........... Paul from Toronto!

POST 13Original post

Interesting, I would just buy oem from sunset-

POST 14Original post

SPR - which sideskirts do you mean when you say 'new'? Aren't the skirts pictured the latest oem? kristap

POST 15Original post

unless I am mistaken those are the older ones? the newer gt3 ones are a little swoopier

POST 16Original post

Paul: Did they ship them from the U.S. over to Canada for you? If so, did you get dinged with crazy brokerage duties, taxes, etc.?

POST 17Original post

mightytaco: Thank you, I like it as well. Carrera Mike: Well, it was a preowned at Porsche of Princeton. That is, until I bought it. Sorry, these are the only pics I have, the ones from their website.

POST 18Original post

Hi Chris, Did you just get tha car then? Congratulations! I have been looking for a car in the last few weeks and that particular one was in my list. I think thats a beauty, low mileage and porsche aprroved. I really like that side skirt too. I ended up getting the speed yellow in my avatar. I can't pass on it when it showed up here localy for sale. I got it the first day they advertised it. So far I'm very happy moving from 993 to 996.

POST 19Original post

Carrera Mike: I have had the car since late October. I went and had a look at the PofP web site and two of the cars do look almost exactly the same. They must take photos from the exact same location for all their cars. I will take some non advertising photos soon. However, its a little dirty these days. Congrads on your newest addition. I really like Porsche yellow. However, the girlfirend, soon to be more, was not having it.

POST 20Original post

Yea they were shipped from state ..painted i might add, i looked all over for the aero kit..........And it turns out Dayton was cheaper , and knew how to ship to Canada. I called suncoast porsche as someone said in this thread , but they would not ship here.

POST 21Original post

The Aerokit II sideskirts will not look harmonic together with the Aerokit I front bumper which is the only front bumper that will fit with your headlights. If you decide to go for the Aerokit II front bumper as well, you will need to change the front headlights and front wings in addition to the bumper! Ciao, Johannes E.

POST 22Original post

How do the side skirts install? I've installed other rocker panels before. What is involved? Thanks in advance!!

POST 23Original post

How much was the kit painted, if that's not too personal to ask. I was checking the price for the pre facelift cars and the 4750 I thought did not include paint. i figured it would be another 1k or more at least to have them installed and painted by a shop. I really do want the kit. I saw a kit by Rizzo a few months ago that was really inexpexsive, but probaqbly "cheap" as well.

POST 24Original post

The MK 1 sideskirts look good without any bumper upgrades... makes the car look deeper in the middle... and I don't agree that the look is "unbalanced".. IMO it looks pretty slick and a great upgrade...

POST 25Original post

A little off topic, but what are the various rear bumper options do I have for my c2? Is the entire rear bumper replaced? I was an idiot the other night and backed into (slowly) my jag At least now I have an excuse to do the aero pkg or at least the side skirts and rear...

POST 26Original post

You can get TT/C4S rear bumper covers fir narrow body cars, I have a friend whom has one, I think it was an OEM but not sure

POST 27Original post

Bumper covers? Does that mean the entire bumper is not replaced? Are the sideskirts and covers glued or screwed on?

POST 28Original post

Porsche Driving Experience cars(some of them) has this set up(just the side skirts). Check out this video. The 2005 calendar (FEB05) has this picture too of PDE cars with same set up. http://www.porschedriving.com/NS_video_03_mp.asp

POST 29Original post

It looks fine with the newer style...the older style...not so good.

POST 30Original post

What are front wings? I have no desire to change my front headlights and all to make it look like an 02+ but just wanted to know. Someone said you had to change your lights and front wings in order to get the MKII front bumper.

POST 31Original post

He meant front fenders -- in the UK they call fenders "wings." You would need new front fenders if you want to upgrade your headlights to 01- style headlights.

POST 32Original post

the older style side skirts look better on the pre 2002 cars....
