I have seen a number of Boxsters here with them, hopefully they can share where they got them. I don't want to make a quality mistake.

ok ...ok.... I bought a pair of those!

Now if I would do it again.... nope!

Bought them from the same folks, and they shipped fast and what they said they would, no issues there.... But they are what they are "Fiberglass"

I have had mine on for almost a month and they have gone down hill quite fast, first with installing them you need to make sure they fit flush on your bumper (which they do not) then of course paint and mount, which is a pain to reach the nut.

Then after installing and driving around (during winter and salt/dirt on the road) they have gotten pitted & chipped. And sort of look like crap. If I had to do it over I think I would go another route (Polyurethane)

Oh and make sure to not tighten the bolts (fiberglass cracks real easy )

Not snow, but cold enough to ice over some of the bridges.

We (Texans) think it is an Anti-Texan plot hatched by folks in Montreal !!!
Now close your door so it can get warm here again.

And yes when it gets below 60 degree's here the news reports it as a "Cold Wave"

"We (Texans)"

Travis, you moved from Southern California last year. Since when did you become a naturalized Texan?

I think you have to live in our great state for a lot longer than that to be naturalized. I've lived here 40 years and my wife, who was born in Texas says I'm still a "damn yankee" <-- born in Harrisburg, PA... home of 3 mile island.

Actually I moved "Back" to Texas
(Besides... California, Arizona and New Mexico is still part of Texas right?)

And before being re-admitted I was able to take (and pass) the Texan Nationality Test (TNT)
