They look nice, but add 15 pounds of weight to the car.

So installing side skirts and leaving the bumpers stock doesn't make the car look,
"unbalanced"?

Here are some pix of my rear diffusers and side skirts. The company who made the skirts and humps is now out of business, thankfully. Their poor service was only surpassed by the crappy quality of their product.

Sorry for the delay, I had to snap a few more pics. Here is my 2002 with the factory Aerokit II side skirts and Ebay rear diffusers.
My diffusers look the same as RandallNeighbour's, but his side skirts look a little different. Are they Aerokit I?
SD Boxster has the same side skirts, but being a 2003 he has the diffusers as part of the rear bumper cover and a more defined horizontal line, which make it look a little more integrated and match the side skirts even better.
The Ebay side skirts look like the Aerokit II design, but I cant speak to their quality.
I think the side skirts (and the whole aerokit) are a nice, tasteful addition to an already great looking car.
Good luck!
