Porsche 911 Side Skirts DIY Install on a Narrow Body 991

[@rostamr4096]

I am saving your videos so that as soon as I buy my Carrera I will check them again. Your videos on oil change and spark plug change was very helpful

[@TommyLGarage]

Happy to hear !!!

[@Youppp]

Great tutorial Tommy. You're right you can't unsee it. I think they would look better if they were paint matched the same yellow as the car. That would make your Carrera T unique. Food for thought.

[@TommyLGarage]

Thank you for the feedback. Since my front and rear pieces are not color matched, I left them like this. But I agree if everything was color matched, it would be great.

[@PSA955]

Another great mod, thank you Tommy for draining my checkbook!

[@TommyLGarage]

My pleasure !! :)

[@martinpeter4675]

Perfect, thank you. I ordered the same and followed your instructions, step by step. All very helpful. Only with the Porsche clips I am not 100% satisfied. I am not sure they gonna hold…😅 The result looks great to me!!!❤

[@TommyLGarage]

Happy to hear!! So my side skirts held up very well at a track day.

[@Youppp]

I ve just had another look at this. And actually the plastic used in these side skirts is a perfect match for the colours used on the OEM decal Carrera t that runs along the doors amd the front splitter. It actually looks really good.

[@TommyLGarage]

It’s slightly darker than Carrera T but could pass the smell test

[@leinadzerep70]

Excellent! Looks great. Great video!

[@TommyLGarage]

Thank you very much!

[@davidtinker3470]

Love your videos. Thanks!

[@TommyLGarage]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the love !!!

[@jt3sd]

Tommy you did it again , thanks for T’ng up my next mod ! Been pondering these too for my T. Agree 100% carbon fiber non starter on our Ts, didn’t know Rennline had these in ABS -plastic , must be recent ???

[@TommyLGarage]

They’ve had them for about a year. But it took TLG to get them out there! :)

[@Californification]

Great DIY. I went with the OEM GTS/Targa one which IMO looks a lot better. The rennline looks like an afterthought tack on. Check out the thread on rennlist for the GTS sideskirt. Looks great .

[@TommyLGarage]

Curious - what’s so afterthought about it? To me it looks great

[@Californification]

Can’t respond as my reply keeps getting rejected when I post a Rennlist link. Not sure why.

[@Californification]

@@TommyLGarage The link doesn’t work so I’ll try and explain what I mean. Again this is personal opinion and I had the same gripe with some aftermarket side skirt options on my F80 M3 similar to your blue one. Go to the 11m30s mark on the video where you are cleaning the side skirt. The issue I have is that extended lip both on the front and the rear. If you look at the OEM side skirts (GT3, GTS, Targa, etc) they all curve back in towards the front and the rear to be flush with the rocker panel. That’s my issue with this one. Again, just my opinion. Great job on the DIY.

[@AnthonyGambini]

Hey Man, tks for the video, super helpful. Do you know if Porsche has side skirts for narrow body? Do we have to go with this supplier?

[@TommyLGarage]

So unfortunately, no, they do not have side skirts for narrow bodies. This is our only solution.

[@jefflee6154]

Looks killer!

[@TommyLGarage]

I agree!

[@aaronbell5743]

On your older video where to soul cats worth the installion and cost? Was there much diff in sound??

[@TommyLGarage]

Definitely worth it. Best sound mod !

[@aaronbell5743]

@@TommyLGarage Hard to hear a cat change will make that much change. It must flow that much better.

[@edjustice7755]

Have been looking for side skirts forever, while these look great the fitment from the manufacturer could have been better for what you pay. It makes one wonder what car they used for making these. In anycase thanks for your usual tips and pro tips!! Appreciate all you have shared and the work you put into your content!

[@TommyLGarage]

What’s wrong with the fitment ? It’s perfect.

[@edjustice7755]

@@TommyLGarage Bending the tabs down underneath, they could have provided replacement clips. Rear flap, they could have done better fitment imho, again for that price. Or molded that end piece into the skirt. Compared to other solutions, I have to give to them though until someone does a better job, or V1.1.

[@carreralicious]

Having to superglue the rear flap to the body is a bit risky no? What happens if you have to remove the flap one day? Will the superglue pull the paint?

[@rwdconnor]

Ive been between these or the Maxton design ones. I just dont know how i feel about the front section coming out like the rear. Regardless, great video!

[@TommyLGarage]

It actually flows with the body lines. They look great in person.

[@rwdconnor]

@@TommyLGarage well, im sold lol

[@leekindell9937]

cant you add gt3 side skirts or is yours too narrow on body type. on my 991.2 i added oem porsche gt3 skirts painted in body colour, looked great as i hate maxton stuff or other third party ones

[@TommyLGarage]

GT3 figment is not that great

[@leekindell9937]

@@TommyLGarage oh did it not work on yours. mine went on perfect really easy straight swap no fitment issues as its porsche. i had it ppf as well so helps keep stone chips off the arches

[@porschestories409]

Yes they’re the same
