My question is, are all the panels compatible or have they made some subtle changes in the 2 years that might make things difficult to swap?

Thanks

They're the same from 1997-2004. There is, however a slight difference between the bumper covers between the Base Boxster and the Boxster S. Most likely it's not a fitment issue, just cosmetic design.

Enjoy your Boxster!

Thank you! The bumper has minor damage and can be repaired but the fender and hood are completely trashed!

I can't picture the differences myself. The S has the center third radiator. I wonder if there is a difference with the bumper covers also?
