XAJ Option for 997TT/C4S "Painted Side Skirts"

FYI... I just thought for those of us who are begining to think of options etc for our 997TTs... I think this is a must if your not ordering a black car. Make the car look lower and wider looking from the front to rear. Looks much better than leaving it black and looking unfinished...Since im ordering speed yellow I definetly want it painted... Anyways the order code is XAJ. Here's a pic on a C4S with this option....

I ordered it as well, what I don't get though is that the front lip spolier painted to match is not an option??!!

painted is cool but since the front lip will be in black plastic... oh well.

I ended up putting this option on last minute today! I think with the yellow exterior it was a must

Problem is that you'll definately have to paint that front lip spoiler.....car will look VERY odd with painted side skirts and a black plastic front lip spoilier...WHen porsche started offering the side skirts painted on the 996 Turbo S, they also had the option to paint the front lip spoiler, seems very odd they would only paint the side skirts, now I'm going to have to paint that front lip myself
