They are not bumpers

But called Bumperettes. And when my car was hit from the rear at a stop light, I was sure glad I had them as they prevented any damage to the sheet metal or lights as the car slid into me. When you can limit the damage to just replaceable things like bumper covers and crossbars and not have to straighten body panels, you'll be glad for the US crash protection bumper rules.

Thanks.

Bumperettes sounds French to me.

Yes. And probably why Porsche NA shows the car on their website without them.

Please note the Bumperettes on our old 2004 Boxster S were black while the 2011 is the same color as the car body.
