I looked at my side-skirtless Box

last night, and tried to figure out how skirts would attach. Do the skirts just fit over the existing bottom lip of the panel. I didn't see a piece they would simply replace...

We're hoping soon to get some that are painted with genuine Porsche paint, pre-painted, so you can just bolt them on yourself. Having a place paint them gets really expensive, and most of the time they will use 'factory matched' paint instead of the genuine Porsche stuff. Side skirts look fantastic on the 986.

Yeah the side skirts in the picture I posted are OEM polyurethane. They are the same style as on the GT3 MK1

I opted for the Fiberglass GT3 MK2 style on the 2002-2004 GT3 and 996 911.
they are aftermarket from precisionporsche.com a very small shop.

The sideskirts attach using double sided tape and two factory clips.

prepainted factory parts are cool if you can get the skirts themselves at a cheap price. Otherwise you aren't saving money. I think anything under $1000 is good.
$700 seems to be the going rate on Ebay for unpainted OEM polyurethane.
