Name the sideskirts?!

Can anyone identify what sideskirts these are? I recently picked up a new front bumper for next year and I'm shopping around for some sideskirts to match.

In this case $1150.00 would buy a lot more "goin'" than "showin'".

Or a couple of great weekends with the GF/W/SO in the Boxster.

Just sayin'.........

My thoughts exactly. That's enough for a set of different sideskirts, nice UD pulley, a full tank of gas, an oil change and maybe even plugs.lol

Same as Rick here - I say get them (not 'that' expansive? no?)

Those are absolutely stunning in fact. I'd pay what it takes to get those sexy lines. They are well done, well balanced. Too bad I didn't see them when I was looking :/

Sure makes the pair I got locally for $50.00 seem like a bargain ! I have no idea who made mine and I could care less.......for the price it was a no brainer. I haven't had them fitted/installed/painted yet but it's coming soon.

Got a set of TA style (GT?) set for $600 excl paint 3 years ago. Might sound weird to some but by far one of few best-spent on the car here

they are fiberglass and not perfect but the same quality as the US made ones at less than half the price. I think they charge 70 for shipping .

I actually prefer the fiberglass stuff. From previous experience with aero stuff, I've gotten poly pieces before and they all had this wavy/ warped look to them.
