Side Skirts with Vents

Hi All!

I've been looking for a nice pair of side skirts for my C4s 996. Has anyone ever seen something like this on the aftermarket?



Thanks!

There are two points of contact listed on the car and in the photo. Check with both of them and one should know about the car. Then you can post the results here.
