At factory ride height there is 5-1/4" ground clearance. The finish is shiny black gelcoat. Installation could be about 20 minutes if you stop to have a coffee. There are no existing fasteners on the Boxster as there was never any provision for any kind of front aero. The plastic pieces at the bottom back corners of the bumper need to be removed and the splitter plugs into the slots where the were. Additionally there are 5 3/8" holes required to be drilled into the bottom of the bumper to attach the splitter. I am supplying rubber blind nuts for the install. When I did the original GT3 piece a few years ago one customer came up with this solution to keep the splitters on as they were having problems with the factory plastic push pins. Take a look at this link and it will give you an idea of the install.
