Unknown side skirts
 
Hi guys!!!!

Anybody can tell me what is the model of those side skirts? They were on my 951 and I found nothing on the web! I would like to sell them but I’ve no price references.

Thanks!

Picture would help. I’m guessing it’s not Porsche OEM.

I'll give you $5 to throw those in the trash and keep them off a poor unsuspecting 944.

9FF 04-17-2020 02:38 PM

They look like they are part of a kit made by Folger, search “Porsche 924 944 Folger”

Some of the pictures from Folger looks a little similar but this isn't the same. Thanks for your reply! SmileWavy

I would like to see a picture of your car, maybe I could give you 5$ and just throw it to the trash directly because I don't like the look?

Maybe someone would love them. When they were on my 951 it wasn't bad at all. I prefer without but it was not bad looking for real.

Thanks to not reply again on this thread, you seems to bring nothing good actually.

Well they do not look like Strosek or Gemballa which were the “premium” aftermarket kits, and it’s not factory, maybe it’s a Puerto Rican special.

Hahaha ok well I will continue to search and if I find something I’ll write it here.

Thanks for the replies.

FRZ951 04-18-2020 06:04 AM

Well, a friend of me told me they were a special option at something like 5K$CAD available. I will comeback later for a confirmation.

Come guys settle down the good old days of figthing on this forum is long gone,we can argue yes but nothing personnal.From the old man up north.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat5.gif:D

FRZ951 04-20-2020 08:13 AM

These side skirts were made from GTRacing colorado, just for info. I will delete this post in few days due of all the stupids comments above.

jjeffries 04-20-2020 05:24 PM

Matt.... Come on dude, it's all good, brother. I'd say - respectfully, relax! Those weren't personal attacks. We all know that on the computer we can't hear one another's speech inflections nor see eachother's faces to know when a comment is good-natured or nasty. Rocket wasn't being nasty. I wouldn't want those things on my car, either, but it doesn't mean I'm not interested in your car or what experiences you have to share. We're all in this together mon ami.

Peace and Love, so said Ringo Starr

I was really hoping our friend FRZ951 would return, having understood that we’re all good here. So much conflict in the world, no need for misunderstandings here to keep anyone away. John

FRZ951 04-25-2020 09:19 AM

I have returned with an answer above.

For the rest, I don’t like when people answer stupid things. It make the threads unreadable and full of useless posts for people who really need the good informations. That’s one of the rules on forums normally. The bad guy here isn’t me, I’m just the guy who asked a question and was waiting for decent answers. That it. I’m not new here, and I have never tolerated that kind of answers on my threads, and I will never tolerate them too. If everyone answer stupid things on this forum it’s gonna be a mess really quick. That’s simple. Look all the posts already on this thread just because of useless comments?? That’s a good example.

jjeffries 04-25-2020 09:31 AM

Then I suppose we’re just wired differently: I wouldn’t view this as a right/wrong thing, or insist that someone was a bad guy. If we all used the standard you seem to be demanding, there’d be no humor here at all, which would be a huge loss. A sense of grace goes a long way, and if offered an olive branch ...
Best of luck to you. John

FRZ951 04-25-2020 09:37 AM

Well, maybe sometimes this is missunderstanding thing because of the language barrier. But i'm good enough to know that some kind of sentences are not joke:

- To me, this has nothing to do on as an answer. I have a lot of humour, believe me! But imagine 10 comments like that.. and then, imagine someone, example like me, searching for something on the forum, then I find this thread. I start to read and I see comments like that. What i'm gonna do? Just leave this thread. Within all the forum, maybe the answer i'm looking for is in that thread only, and because of all those useless comment I will just stop reading.

Anyways, i'm not sure why i'm arguing on that, it seems clear to me..

djnolan 04-25-2020 12:08 PM

I can vouch for V2 as being one of the most respected members of the forum, and one of the most innovative, too, and it is better to be on his good side than his bad side. He has done performance things with 944's most have not even attempted. He may have just been giving you an "engineering" opinion of the usefulness of those skirts. To me those skirts look more appropriate for a Japanese car than a German car and 944 taste would be towards smoother lines. Hopefully you weren't in love with them otherwise you wouldn't be selling them. I don't think any lines in the sand were crossed and I would take no umbrage to the comment.

FRZ951 04-25-2020 12:24 PM

Can’t believe all these discussions for my simple question. I’m pretty amazed.

You can write to GT-RACING Colorado and tell them the skirts they made years ago is junk and should go on Japan cars. Yeah, because obviously as you guys says they don’t know what they are doing.

These skirts was on my 951 for more than 10years. It wasn’t bad looking at all!! But now I would like without.

This is my last comment.

If an admin want to delete my thread go ahead anyways it’s full of stupid comments.

azbanks 05-04-2020 11:14 PM

Do you have any pictures of them on the car?

Mmmmmm let's me try to find a picture for you in the next days! :eek:

FRZ951 05-07-2020 01:41 PM

Pictures are old (maybe 5 years ago, at least) and aren't really good quality.

What makes you think they are from GT-Racing? I have their old catalogs going back to when they first opened and those are not listed anywhere.

Also they look a good fit and well made, GT-Racing products are made for the track so they are purposeful rather than aesthetically pleasing. On the back do they look like they were filed and sanded to get them to fit?

Could be AIR, they did some unique stuff.

Op, you can go to the Internet archive and look at back catalogs from various well-known manufacturers, probably your best route. It’s a bit 90’s techy but I’ve had luck in the past identifying unusual items this way. Here I’ll get you started:

Wayback AIR

FRZ951 05-09-2020 05:53 AM

A friend of me really thought it was made from GT-Racing but I sent them an email with the images and the owner told me this isn’t from them.

I’ll try to find old catalogs just for my personal knowledge. I’ll sold them as most of the side skirts price on the web. 🤷
