Hey, that looks familiar, congrats! I found the bumper and side skirts on eBay about 1 year apart. Consider the GT3Tek rear bumper/diffuser piece. I think it finishes the look and blends with the OEM GT3 look (search the forum or their website for a pic, I don't have a good one now).
In my opinion it makes the Boxster look almost like new. No one believes me when I tell them mine is a 14 year old car.

Yea, your car was one of the ones that made me decide to pull the trigger on getting it done. I like the GT3Tek rear diffuser but struggle with keeping it OEM or not.Plus will it fit on the "04 because of the factory diffusers? I am seriously debating the Carrera lights that you have. Always loved them, If I had any other 17's than the ones I have, I would have already replaced them. I'd love to put the aero kit I rear spoiler as I like it better than the aero kit II wing, but it wouldn't be OEM correct.

Replaced the Frunk Strut Supports.
It's nice having the hood raise itself (from about half way or so) and STAY UP.....instead of hitting me on the head all the time.
