Pimp my 99 Boxster?

[1999 Boxcutter]

I'm full of questions today. So, I wrapped my Boxster around a telephone pole and I've decided to to put money into this poor car that probably doesn't deserve it.

First, the damage...

Now, I've got this guy who does body work and owes me big favor so now I'm going to cash in on it. The only thing is that I have to buy the parts. First thing I did was type Boxster Bumper into ebay and I saw all these body kits. Some of them looked really hot but what got me was that were cheaper than the OEM parts!

So my first question is: What is the compatibility of Boxster parts? Can I put just any rear Boxster bumper on my 99? Easily? The fact that THESE GUYS are claiming their kits fit on 97-04 models tells me that front fenders, bumper and hood are all interchangeable for any Boxster from 99-04. Am I wrong in thinking this way? Stop me before I start buying 03 door panels and to find out they don't fit.

Second question: What are the names of the back panels behind the doors? I typed in rear fender and got nothing.

Third question: Am I looking in the wrong place for parts? Is there some secret place to find quality Porsche parts for cheap?

Thanks for all your help, I'm going to keep updating as I progress.

97-04 are pretty much the same exceptions being stuff you don't really need.

Rear quarter panels

I'd add Star recycling to above list of junk yards.
