Got her back.....

So, some of you may remember that my Boxster got mangled in a recent ice storm here in Maryland. I got her back today and she looks great - with one exception....the plastic guard close to the rear wheel arch that seems to be the outflow for the rear drainage tube is still mangled - perhaps they missed it in the body shop. It's kinda like a triangular piece that connects by two screws underneath. Anyone have any idea where I can get one and how easy they are to replace ? thanks....

WOW ! Thanks so much for the quick response. That is EXACTLY what I meant. So, I am imagining it or are they the pieces where the rear drains lead to ?

Again, thank you for your help.

:D

Their called gravel guards and I don't think they have anything to do with the drain. There about $20 at Silverstar recycling, Suncoast has'em pretty cheap new...$40 maybe.

On MY99 Boxster they just snap in place. They are solid rubber, no drain connection.

I've recently pulled mine off to dry-fit some gt3 side skirts for my '00 Boxster...it was three screws underneath and one screw in the wheel well...but that last one is covered by the wheel well plastic guards. Those come off with the unscrewing of two hex head bolts. It is really easy...and while you are under there you might want to clean out all the gravel, sand, and dirt that is sitting in it. I probably released two handfuls of trapped debris from each of the "gravel guards".
