				Help please to identify these side skirts
			 
 
			Can anyone help me to identify these side skirts? I'm really interested in them and I can't locate them anywhere. The website domain shown in the photo is now for sale. 
Thanks in advance!

no, but the car in the pic is a 986 with the aftermarket '987 look' side vents available on eBay. The lower part of the vents are fake.

			Can't believe I didn't catch that, the rims and vents tricked me. 
When I did an image search with that photo, it turned up an eBay listing for the side vents by a place called XtremeMotorcars, not sure if their site shows those skirts:

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. The car in the pic is doing a pretty good 987 impersonation for sure.

Because I'm considering using some body colored TA knockoff headlight covers (which I bought for $90 vs ~$250 for real TAs) I might go with the TA side skirts also to keep with a single theme.  Real TA side skirts go for around $1,400 new if I remember correctly so I'll most likely try the knockoffs if I decide to go this route.

No problem. Glad I could help. They're definitely expensive but also pretty unique. I was shopping around for side skirts last year and didn't even know about those until now.
