I'd also recommend staying away from FRP - They're cheap but generally need a lot of work to do right.

Be advised that the sideskirts on 996.1 were attached using an aluminium strip which itself was screwed to the sills with selftspping sheetmetal screws.

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.

I�m looking to return my car back to stock it�s a 99 aero without the front and rear stock bumpers but the cost os stock aero parts are insane so I need to go aftermarket
so I�m looking for experiences with companies that you have used and how you rated the fit and finish costs
thanks Mike
Once you start going cheaper and cheaper the quality and fitment will suffer. You may save a few bucks somewhere and pay on the other end via paint and getting it to fit right. If you want it done well and look good don't cheap out.
Unless you find a used one, I'd rec OEM.
Getty design will still set you back $1400.
OEM 996-505-980-03-G2x is around $1800.

I waited it out for a year too, it�s worth it. One will pop up likely in the mid 2k-3k range. Install is such a breeze staying oem and it�s durable for the long term.
My 99� has 2/3 the aero kit, front and side skirts, but they weren�t stock. I want to revert to stock standard parts.
might be willing to part with my aero parts if I can find stock parts to backfill them.
Be advised that the sideskirts on 996.1 were attached using an aluminium strip which itself was screwed to the sills with selftspping sheetmetal screws.
You might want to check if that's the case on your car as you'd end up with holes after removing them. If the strips were instead stuck on using double sided tape.
Use dental floss to cut the tape foam layer and remove the remains with a paint friendly sticker remover (contractiction in terms those last 4 words!)
Litronics are being installed this week just picked them up as well as grey sport seats
I know the people knock the lights but the Taiwan light but the outputs is amazing when an upgrade led became available for the litronics I replaced asap
