side skirts

Can most "quality paint shops" match your colors on these? My Boxster is dark green, it would be a shame not to have a perfect match.....

you rang?

no 18" shod Boxster is complete with out side skirts!

Although KRATZCO's looks nice without them because of his big black wheels.
(but I think it would look better with skirting).

Silver is tough to match and plastic and metal take on paint differently but my skirts came out perfectly so I figure dark colors (like green) should be no problem.

Not cheap though, the skirting is $700 factory parts and paint labor is at least another $400. But well worth it if you have bigger wheels. Gives it a much lower and and agressive stance. Kind of takes the 'fun little car' look out of it.


here's a comparision (similar wheels) one has gt3 front bumper and side skirts
the other has no skirts and the stock 2003 front bumper.
