just a little hint; when car is fully assembled push on diffrent points and angles on your body such as fascia, skirts lips etc. If it seems like it gives and all you care about is maximum down force or aero dynamics try this. Go to hardware store where ever most have "one inch by 1/8 inch by three foot sections of aluminum". Now we are going to use a side skirt for example. Find a good brace point under the car if there is a solid bolt good if you have to drill through the floor double check but works fine. Find the best position of side skirt and using a tape measure and a sharpie mark your two mount points one on skirt one on floor board. Now cut the strip to the appropriate length usually a couple inches longer than your measure ment. Try putting four braces on each skirt. Ok now drill your holes and use some metric hardware locking nuts are usually a good thing with washers. You should have eight holes four on the skirts under or inner edge, and four on the frame. Continue on other side and where ever else you need it. I use the aluminum strips because they are light fairly easy to bend and stay in the form of which you bend. When drilling holes in the aluminum try to keep as much matterial around the drill hole as possible. The end result is the form of the part will not give and the force of air will be directed around the way it was really designed. I have installed lots of body kits and race parts this is something any body can do to help. I think we have all seen a car drive by with bodykit waving. Ha ha. Any questions I think my e-mail is under members. Oh yeah, I have noticed Porsches seem to be fairly solid with OEM parts. You may not need as much bracing as other cars. This also may affect crash crumple zones to a slight degree. I myself don't worry about it.
