I bought a set of fiberglass copies from eBay and the test fit is not bad. Really considering installing them this spring.

I like the Caractere skirts also (kind of retro 964), but not for $725 per side unpainted.

I’ve decided to keep the SE for the long term, so I’m not so worried about keeping it pure stock for resale. It’s a driver, not a garage queen. I do plan to only make mods that can be reversed back to stock without too much grief.

Anyway, any source/fitment info you can give me is appreciated. Sorry for the thread hijack!

Hi,Yes they are the TechArt. I bought them used off ebay..came of a crashed boxster..they needed a little TLC before repaint.. but yea they fit like a glove .. not sure because they where already fitted on a boxster before.. I did install them not like everyone else has installed side skirts.which is I followed that body line that's just under the door oem rocker panel.I think gives a factory look. Every other rocker panel ive seen install they install it under that line/groove so its noticeable..even on 911's... But it does lower the rocker panel closer to the ground if your looking for that look.

Exactly! I want to disappear the groove also. When I did the test fit I was able to get good fitment just like you did (top of TA rocker panel at the edge of the lower door sill fold, following the curve up of the sill fold at the rear of the door). This fitment gave me perfect alignment/contact at the weld fold at the bottom of the factory rocker panel also. It seems the TAs are one of the few designed to fit this way. Also the flare up at the rear of the TAs lead well into the rear bumper cover contours. A very clean look IMHO. I’m going to give them a shot this spring.

Thanks for the info!
