thats very odd. my situation was similar.

i bought the zender skirts for the boxster and what i got was skirts for a 996.
i was sitting there for an hour trying to strech the skirts and fit them on the car....not a good idea. i call the dude that i bought them from, and he was so embarrased. he knew 100% that i had a boxster and the skirts were for a boxster. so back to the waiting game.......

but hey after all the issues, you are going to love the body kit. when i got mine put on, i forgot about all the issues i went throught.

do post pics please!

Well I am starting to feel better now that I hear the stories of others

(better not say that too loud, BruceLee might start charging me for therapy)


Randall, My wife and I are also planing to go to the race track on Saturday, will confirm with you on Friday and we can meet up at the site.

Travis, what did you do with the wrong skirt since it was alreadly painted? Did the supplier compensate or were you left holding the bag?

Well . . . . .

Another bump in the road with the project, as posted earlier had brought the Zender skirts (f$%#berglass) to replace the mis-matched ones Porsche had sent with the Aerokit.

Well they had worked on them and painted and worked and then called me this morning to ask me to come down for a chat, the body guy (who is a nice guy and good at what he does) refused to put them on unless I told him in person to do so after I saw what they would look like.

Thank God he has good taste and called first, those skirts really were "RICER" and even though they worked to try to get the line straight, they would have to be mounted with new holes drilled (do not match up) and "Perma-Gluded" whatever that meant, but he said with them being fiberglass and rock chips that they would look like "Rice-Crap" in a few months.

So now they are detailing (without skirts) and will call this afternoon to pick up.

Oh Yeah, I have some real nice skirts for sale if anyone is interested

lol. No way you can send back one of the skirts to get replaced since they sent you the wrong one?

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Travis,

Since the Zender skirts didn't work out, are you gonna give the Aero skirts a try ?

Were you able to exchange them for two of the same ?

Just wondering...

Nick
