Assembly grease
Cam cover sealant
Cam caps
2x Timing chains cam to cam
2x Timing chain rails
Porsche Tool #9632
Timing kit w/ cam locking / brace
2x variable timing adjuster seals
oil pump seals
Left and Right Tensioners
oil
oil filter
question too, would i need 4 replacement green cam caps ? and regarding Porsche Tool #9632, i decided im going to make it myself per a youtube video recommendation from another thread. though some have said the 99 boxster is a left while other sources online say right. so thatll be interesting to figure out.
another question regarding these guides. I know the new ones are the beige and the old ones were a dark brown / reddish colour. im hoping to get some insight as to which ones i SHOULD get. both Pelican and Parts Geek, the sites i use for genuine parts, both have beige as genuine although there has been some back and forth whether the beige is the best pick or not.

just keep in mind genuine is a crafty brand name for a company providing reproduction parts . as you are buying a "genuine" part. This is why i don't use that term , you can buy:
OE: original equipment with Porsche stamp that your car originally came with.
OEM: Original equipment manufacturer. the same supplier that supplied your original parts may or may not match OE quality standards.
Aftermarket: all other companies that provide substitute parts. ( "genuine" in this case )
to do again I would get the OE parts for this job as it is so critical.
