Check the air ducts to the front brakes.They are plastic and attached by clips to the lower suspension arm .They are easy to break/dislodge if they hit something. The upgrade GT3 ducts are even worse. Fortunately the Ebay clones are cheap. The OEM parts are around $200/pr.

as a fellow new Orleans resident, my best advice is to pay attention. when driving, you will learn the smoothest roads, use them even if it means taking a slightly longer trip. longer trip? what's the problem? you're driving your boxster. as stated earlier, the tallest tires possible, thus seek out the smallest wheels.. i.e. 16's or 17's. just because you are driving a Porsche does not mean you have to go fast everywhere. the potholes are horrible, and your engine and transmission cases are aluminum and close to the ground. by the way, even though it looks cool, DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER LOWERING YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!
