Porsche 996 GT3-style polyurethane rocker panels side skirts (1999-2004)

The GT3-style rocker panels give the Porsche 996 Carrera a lower, sportier stance and a finished side profile. They’re one of the most popular ways to upgrade the sides of the 1999–2004 996.

What are GT3-style rocker panels?

They’re side skirts inspired by the 996 GT3 that mount along the lower body between the wheels, visually lowering the car and smoothing airflow down the sides.

Why polyurethane?

Molded from flexible, crack-resistant polyurethane, they flex over curbs and debris and return to shape instead of cracking like fiberglass — ideal for parts mounted this low. They arrive ready for scuff, prime, and paint.

Fitment

Fit the Porsche 911 996 Carrera (1999–2004). Confirm your side configuration before ordering.

Installation tips

The rockers use OEM-style mounting; light trimming may be needed for a perfect line. Professional installation gives the cleanest result.

Styling and performance

GT3-style rockers tie a 996 build together — pair them with a front lip and rear diffuser for a complete, balanced, GT3-inspired look.

FAQ

Sold as a pair? Yes — left and right, with hardware and an install guide.

Will they crack? Polyurethane flexes and resists cracking under normal use.
