The TA sideskirts are stupidly expensive and are a very rare find these days. I would check out GT3tek Boxster Body Parts - 986 Spyder Look, Boxster Rear Diffuser, Side Rocker, Body Kit they might have something you would like.
I bought their side skirts for my 997 and the fit and finish was very nice and the price was very reasonable for PU (not fiberglass)

Here is the OEM AerokitII front bumper and side skirts. I found them on Ebay over the years.

I decided to go with the GT3 MK2 (02-04) skirting instead of the GT3 MK1 (99-01) that is normally sold with the Boxster aero kit. That unfortunately meant I had to go aftermarket fiberglass but they've held up pretty well. Skirting on a Boxster is actually longer than on a GT3 or regular Carrera. I think I paid $350 for the skirting on what used to precisionporsche.com. One arrived about 1/8" longer than the other so there's a little gap. Didn't feel like going through the hassle of re-shipping fiberglass so let it slide.
The front bumper is factory GT3 MK1 since it will only work with the fried egg headlights. I think The two different styles blend well together though.

Those Techarts art growing on me. I checked prices online and wow  . Are there replicas available anywhere?
Any good websites for the aero kit 1s?
Johnny: The wheel fitment is perfect! Awesome job! Are low +30 offset ranges going to give that look? Any issues with rubbing?

The offsets are +31 all around, with no rubbing issues .
There are several aftermarket knock-offs of the Techart side skirts available . Here's one :

I Found some
Techart sides don't know if they will fit.
The # 096.100.380.100
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I've done a search but could not find anything.
Thank you. They ate for a great deal but I want to make sure they fit first.

No link. I bought them already. From Craig's list.
For a great price. I tried to fit them but looks to be a little short like .5 inch short.
I'll take pics once I get home from work.

It's more than likely because they were designed for a carrera . Most boxster owners don't realize this, but even though certain model boxsters and carreras shared some of the same body parts, the side skirts for a boxster are actually slightly longer than those of the carrera .

Assuming that I'm correct, technically no . But, if the skirts are made out of FRP (which I'm certain they are), a shop that has a lot of experience working with fiberglass could easily add material and shape them to fit accordingly. I would recommend looking for a shop that caters to the "fast and furious" JDM crowd . Those guys can make anything from a complex body kit to a custom audio installment out of nothing . And, I bet you could get them to re-work your skirts for reasonable money.

Haha. It looks like they will fit if I remove the little
Mud flap in the rear. If not I'll try and sell them and get ones that fit. Haha. Thanks JD for the help.
