How about a "Front Protection Bar"? I googled it without any luck but several years ago I thought I saw someone selling them for Boxsters. Purchased one from Carnewal for my 993 after I installed the new suspension lowering it, it has saved the nose from scrapes several times. This might me an opportunity for an entrepreneurial Boxster enthusiast with a welder to become the next aftermarket mogul . Pelican's instructions showing it;

Correct, years ago someone made one for Boxsters called a boomerang or some such. Basically some sheet metal attached to lower bumper skin from end to end... thus ensuring one would completely rip bumper skin off when snagged on a parking curb

That said, the 993 FBP seems to be a better designed option for intended protection.
