Question Boxster Body Material
What material is the body of a 2000 Porsche Boxster S made of? I searched the web and found nothing.

The hood is made from high-tensile paper mache. All other body panels are carbon fiber wrapped in stainless steel.

Read this thread: http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/69292-high-tensile-steel-components.html

for things such as this:


The actual body panels, such as fenders and hood are steel.
