Splash Guard

[grover]

One of the splash guards on my 04 Boxster S is a bit broken. If it's not unreasonably expensive to replace, I'd like to buy a new one vice just duct taping it back together, but I've been unable to find the part number, or even the proper name for the panel. This has to be a common problem, is there a diagram online somewhere that shows the panel part #s?

Thanks!

I know, I know! NASCAR tape, right? [ducks]

No, it's not that one, it's physically under the car, right inside the frame rail. EG, the plastic you're touching if you reach up under the car around the rear of the driver's side door.

Edit: ah, what do ya know... I took the poor mangled piece off to get a better idea of the scope of damage to it (and better check the lines beneath), and the part # is printed right on it! Which explains why I wasn't able to find any threads when I searched ;) Good news is, it only looks to be about $40.

Thanks, just sent them an email :) I found it on Autopartsnationwide.com for $34.30, but they won't tell me shipping until after the order is processed. Pelican Parts is $42.50+$8.50 shipping.

Is autopartsnationationwide reputable, or do they going to jack up the shipping cost?

Sunset has great pricing. Especially if you do not live in their state.

Here's the piece, btw. 3 pieces fell off when I removed the screws, a couple other pieces are missing, and it's all cracked apart. From this and other minor damage, I believe this poor car was a victim of *****-poor jacking. The one brake line was bent a small bit behind one smashed bit and physically touching the other brake line; I inserted a spacer to keep them from rubbing, but there didn't appear to be any real damage to them. I have a sneaking suspicion was was done during a state inspection by a know-nothing yokel mechanic who couldn't be bothered to find the proper jack points nor inform the owner of the damage they caused.

Sunset very promptly replied with a very good price ($31.56), but shipping is $22; they recommended getting it locally. Local Porsche dealer wanted $62!
