Rear Wing cover fitment from an 02-03 to a 99

[mikesz]

I got a rear bumper from an 03-04, with the rear lower diffuser and rear spoiler for same. But first want to install an "S" center radiator and 911 front bumper.

. . . Stay tuned

Not to derail the thread about the rear- But, I have an 911 front bumper installed. Bolts right up. Keep in mind this is the 996 pre 2002 facelift. Am curious to see if a rear face-lifted Boxster lower/diffuser spoiler are the same too.

sorry friends no progress yet. I live in RI and winter has set in and unfortunately garage space is at a premium. My first order of business is to install an S center radiator which is going to be interesting. Once that is done it will be onto the bumper installs. Not sure if I will try to paint them myself of pay someone to do it. Cash is a little tight these days after Christmas. But I promise I will post to let you all know.

anyone know where i can find a schematic of an 03-04 boxster rear bumper with diffuser? I am looking for the aluminum trim pieces. One of mine is damaged and want to find out how much to replace it. I am looking for the schematic.

OK finally did the install. I bought a 03-04 rear bumper, spoiler, and spoiler bracket and they fit. What is really cool is the stainless aftermarket exhaust can now be seen through the rear diffuser in the new bumper. So I replaced the rear bumper and spoiler with pieces from an 03-04. I also had to replace the spoiler frame the piece the spoiler cover clips onto. Sorry it took so long!

Porsche makes the entire spare parts listing available on line. You can find "schematics" and part numbers yourself.

Yes, I know I can find them in PET, the question is more about listing the exact ones that are needed.

Mikesz: If you have the time, can you please list which brackets, trims, screws, etc. you needed? Which parts of the spoiler?

I know that during the 986 production run, the mounting hardware for the spoiler lip cover changed at least once, for example.

Here's a photo that nicely demonstrates the difference in the '03-'04 spoiler.

Note the changed interface between the bumper and the taillight.
