997TT - newest mod

Can you guys spot my newest modification?




FYI, some parts were Photoshopped as a means to give me an idea of how it'd look. The 2nd image should give you an idea of what I mean by that. I probably will have it done.

Springs, or painted lowers. Must be the latter. If you haven't done it already, you definitely should!

Yeah, I had another look, then edited my post. I had mine painted from the factory. IMO, it looks a lot better.

Ding ding ding, and the door prize goes to Eugene!

From looking at the OEM rockers it's apparent where the most damage comes from which on the rearmost section. I plan to get that part covered up with clear bra material this week.

Part number for those skirts? I want these and the dealer can't locate the numbers on his PET!

Excellent mod by the way!

Glad you guys liked my newest mod. I have a few more coming up but until I know for sure how they'll turn out, mums the word.

They were about $328 each from Sunset Porsche. Part numbers are:

997-504-363-80-01C
997-504-364-80-01C

They didn't come painted. I had them painted by a local body shop that's run by a friend of mine. I asked them to mask off the bottom part so that it's left in black plastic.
