I am interested too...

 

Best looking side skirt for the 997. Too bad to date it's only for widebody

 

gt3tek is supposedly working on a NB edition.. but i am not holding my breath.

 

Probably worth a call. I think I will.

 

I called. They are going to produce it. It's in development and I was told to check back after the first of the year for a date. It'll be a few more months but it's something they're going to produce.

 

Gt3tek makes great products but in my opinion takes WAY too long getting them to market. Holy cow how long could it possibly take ? Other manufactures have kits for the 991 out

The guy I spoke with sounded very upfront, sincere and professional. Essentially they were sidetracked with a larger product, even though this project was underway. He commented it's near complete and they'll be picking up on it after the first of the year. Sounds all business to me. I think something like this is worth the wait, at least for me.

 

Yep. I emailed GT3tek about a front lip for the 997.2 and they said they would be offering a full kit by early 2013. Hopefully it will finally happen.

 

Bringing this back from the dead.

Any word on GT2 style narrow body side skirts...?

 

Bumping this again as there are still so many of us wanting these side skirts. Surely there HAS to be an update by now.

 

Yup, what's the hold up?

 

With all due respect to GT3TEK, my guess is that they realized that the plastic OEM wide-body skirts actually do fit on the narrow-body cars. The only problem is, the narrow-body cars don't have a middle support along the sill to attach these skirts. So the only real design/modification they would have to do is to include a roll of heavy duty double sided tape to compensate for the missing attachment point. However, it's tough to justify a premium for tape, and I believe you can't just make a mold of the existing OEM part and claim it's your own original design.

...That's my theory, anyway. It would be about 800 bucks to test it out, but I'm not inclined to do it. If someone else wants to check it out, please do, and let us know. (Here are the skirts: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...e=997s_aerokit)

 

so the GT2 sideskirts are a perfect fit for narrowbody cars with the only thing missing being the middle support? Have you done this yourself to confirm? If so, I agree, finding a way to mount it properly wouldn't be too hard.

 

Those side skirts would be so nice if they worked. They look so clean. Theres got to be someone that can fabricate it. Maybe misha?

 

I don't think you need to have these fabricated. The Porsche OEM skirts will fit the narrow body cars. (See silver329's comment, above).

You would mount them at both wheel wells using screws, and you would apply a strip of double sided tape along the length of the part to fix it to the body of the car. Take a look at this video for the GT3TEK side skirts, as an example:

I imagine the Porsche OEM GT2 side skirts would be installed in a similar fashion, and you would not use the (unavailable) middle mount point at all.

I have not tried this myself, but I think it would work.
