Hey guys, I've been cruising around the website, and saw a pattern of some 924's. I found a couple of pictures of 924s with some kind of strange side- bumper thing between the wheels. I've always thought this was kind of ugly on my car, but in these pictures, the side skirts look different. Did these cars come stock with it? or is it some kind of creation?

Those rocker trim pieces were OE on some (presumably later) 924/931 (or was it only 931?).
Cars that got them also got welded-on metal tabs to hold the trim in place.
Here's my car after re-painting, before the trim was re-attached. The 6 tabs are visible -
