Product Description
The APR Carbon Fiber Side Skirts are designed for MK8 GTI owners looking to enhance the appearance of the factory bodywork with genuine carbon fiber. The vehicle-specific design replaces the factory plastic pieces while following the existing body lines for a clean and integrated appearance.
Constructed from genuine carbon fiber, the side skirts feature a gloss twill weave that provides a premium motorsport-inspired finish. The carbon fiber creates a distinctive contrast against the factory bodywork while adding visual definition along the lower sides of the vehicle.
APR designed the side skirts to provide a more aggressive appearance without becoming overly dramatic. The result works especially well for owners building a clean OEM+ style MK8 GTI while still providing enough visual impact to differentiate the vehicle from stock.
The side skirts are also designed to complement APR's other MK8 GTI carbon fiber body components. Pairing them with the APR Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler, Front Trim, and Rear Diffuser creates a coordinated carbon fiber appearance from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
Installation uses the supplied self-tapping hardware to securely mount the side skirts to the vehicle.
Best For: Volkswagen MK8 GTI owners looking to replace the factory plastic side skirt pieces with genuine carbon fiber while adding a clean, aggressive, and motorsport-inspired appearance.
