958 wheel arch extension DIY
When I bought my 2015 Cayenne S, one thing I didn't like about it was the black wheel arch. I decided I want to retro fit it with the wider, body-colored arch, just like those from the factory with the 21" wheels.
I ordered the retro fit kit from the Porsche dealer (part# 958 044 801 40 about $900). It has multi pieces, 4 arches in prime (ready to paint) and 8 small black trims. Also you need 10 black screws, very important!!! The parts guys should know as it shows in their parts picture.
I had a body shop painted them to match the body color. It took me about 5 hours to install it myself. Installation is not difficult, it just takes time.
You might also need to add wheel spacers since the new arches are wider. The wheels need to push out a little bit to make it looks nicer. Adding spacers will need longer wheel bolts too. I'm putting 15mm for the front and 20mm in the rear, my OE wheels are 20x9 RS.
I forgot to take pictures of the parts and during installation. However, you can see the before and after pictures. Nice!!! (I also lowered it with H&R sports springs)

That looks awesome! Both the flares and lowering make a huge improvement!
How's the ride on the lowered H&R's? Much stiffer? Bumps harsher?
btw, Ala Mo in first pic? Paradise!

Thanks! I'm really happy with these mods.
The ride with the H&R springs is about the same as the oem springs . It is not harsh at all, it's still nice and smooth going over speed bumps and potholes.
Yes, it's the Ala Moana Beach
