I'd go with the newer GT3 skirts, they're more "square" and flow with the Ruf front bumper rather than the first gen tequipment skirts....

side skirts

How about the Ruf side skirts, I looked at alot of diff skirts as well; maybe one would look more aggressive, but I like the fact that they are made of ABS as well...

The Ruf skirts are flat, just lower the side rocker panels, the gt3 mk II have an angular line fron the bottom front diagonally to the top rear of the skirts. There is a difference.

I got it through an installation guy who purchased it from mashaw. It was cheap but the quality was not perfect. If I had known, I wouldn't have done it.

I don't think that's the Ruf skirt....this is the ruf skirt for the 996 that I know of....maybe there are 2 different ruf skirts?

newport996, I will keep it for a little while since I've spent the money. the pic you attached is the ruf skirt I know for the pre-02 model. the pic from nyseguy looks like for post-02 model. don't know if there are different attachment points for each.

There are 2 different versions of RUF sideskirt. The SS that was produced for your bumper was basically flat. The newer SS that comes on the RGT looks identical to a GT3 mkII.
