I like the skirts, makes the car look lower. Without them and the rockers look unfinished. Good job. I found mine on EBay, already painted for $180.

Side skirts are a great addition to our vehicles, well done! Now what side skirts do you have comparable to the poster?

Agreed, side skirts are definitely a must-have item for our cars. Mine are the MKII GT3 style skirts.

(on a side note, which version of the IPD plenum are you running to fit the 986? I don't recall if the RSS guys said the 986 could use the 987box/cayman 3.4 plenum or the 996 3.4/3.6 plenum?)

Thank you! Could you by chance send me a few photographs of your vehicle via PM?

I am running the 3.4L Boxster/Cayman intake plenum.

HI,

I never liked the way the rocker panels looked on my car and these skirts make it look much more finished and clean.

Porshe gave the Boxster a timeless shape but messed up on the rockers.

Thanks Guys for all your opinions.

The boxster looks a million times better with skirts of some sort on it. Mine are crap and not made well, but I can't imagine not having them on the car. They really transform it from a plain-Jane look to something far more stylish or aggressive.

I like your set. Very nice! The pix don't really show me the color being off.
