I personally wouldn't do side skirts without also doing the front and/or rear bumper.
I think you could easily pull off just doing the front bumper though if it's one of the more mild OEM bumpers like the aero bumpers, 996 bumper, or GT3 MK1/2 bumpers. The wilder 997 GT3, GT2, turbo, and other bumpers would probably need side skirts to look "right".

+2 ON THAT. My Box is in the body shop right now getting a 996 C2 bumper put on, all the dings fixed, and a "Turbo" style rear spoiler. Contemplating putting on the AERO II sideskirts. My bumper is the same as JEPH's but older lights.

I agree with Kirk.
Could not have said it better myself.

Mine aren't that well made, but others who have purchased them since say they are much better now.
The seller's customer service stinks. Get ready to call a couple of times to see if they've shipped them. You can't beat the price though.
If you buy these, PM me for tips on correct installation because they come with no instructions whatsoever.

I have an oem turbo bumper on my car with no side skirts and it looks ok. GT3 side skirts would make it look even better. When I get around to painting the rear diffuser, I'll buy skirts.

Does that bumper have mesh or some screening to protect the rads? I can't tell from the picture.
