I had the same problem finding used replacements. One recycler I spoke with told me that most yards use forklifts to move the cars around and these bottom panels get broken in the process.

I ended up buying new ones from Pelican, but included them with some other parts to qualify for free freight.

Of the 70-80 boxsters I've bought, only two had a good rear plastic cover. At this age almost everything plastic is getting brittle.
