    I would love to know also.

    Meanwhile, the confusion about the side-skirts came because you mentioned "25th style" which could lead the uninitiated to think the 88.5 side-skirts were the same ones adopted by the 25th, and since the discussion is just about 88.5 cars, I wanted to take the opportunity to clarify that they are quite different as shown below

    YES. Aside from the angle of the strakes also notice that the skirt and rear wheel flare are one piece on the anniversary. COMPLETELY different pieces.

    Subtle but very different. I prefer the 88.5 but I’m not sure if that’s because of the side skirt or because I prefer the less plasticy looking upper intake.

    The 25th Annivesario was famously styled by Horacio Pagani and he designed the side-skirts in a much more integrated way, he brought the straked vents concept to the front end to facilitate supplementary brake ducts, compared to the classic Countach nose, the 25th's is pretty avant-garde

    We can say that Pagani had completed design on the 25th's bodywork by September of 1987, but I cannot say who designed the side-skirts for the 88.5, anyone know?

    Very likely. We should have GLA12996 as comparison, since my former GLA12997 was the first with the new dash.

    Exactly. Originals are pretty hard to come by. There is an independent Ferrari parts outlet in the UK that offers decent reproductions for reasonable price.
