Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Went to the car meet at Carlsen Porsche/Santana Row today. It was cool until I crashed my car. It's all good,no one was hurt. I was changing freeways and whamo! I'm sideways and spinning out out of nowhere!
Robert, that broke my heart to see you against that wall.
I'm glad it was minor and nobody was hurt. It happens to all of us eventually. I definitely see an '03 rear bumper in your future.
Sorry about your accident, but glad no one was hurt. You can put on the 03+ rear bumper, but the problem is that the bumper has a bigger gap to accommodate the larger rear spoiler in the 03+ cars. To make it look right, you'd need to also buy & install the newer, larger rear spoiler from the 03.
I've already done my homework;
986.504.609.02-03' rear spoiler
986.504.613.02-03' rear spoiler bracket
986.504.615.02(616.02)-03' bracket side covers
That should be it for the rear spoiler,now I have to figure out the rear bumper. Do you know if it's a straight swap?
Robert,
Glad you're O.K. That could've really ended up badly. Bumpers are replaceable.
Check with TriGem on the rear bumper conversion. He did it on his car.
Really sorry to see that blinkwatt. Glad to know you are OK. I know I would be feeling really down if something like this were to happen, but as others have pointed out, everything is fixable, and the car will be better than new in no time. Report back on how your 03 bumper/spoiler conversion turns out.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is a straight swap. I've seen it put on someone's car, but they didn't put the newer spoiler on, so it looks a little strange to me because of the gap left. If you put the newer spoiler on, I think it'll look just fine.
Sorry to see the pics in this thread...
I've read about it more than a few times on the web before and have seen it discussed as a straight swap...given your parts list it sounds like you'll be Ok.
Good luck with the repairs.
Blink were the roads wet/damp? Do you have PSM?
I think this is least the 3rd or 4th Boxster I have seen on this Forum in your situation, and the roads were usually wet/damp, and the Boxster did not have PSM.
Glad you are OK.
No I don't have PSM. Before this happened I never really thought I needed it.
Oh yeah the roads were way wet,1st heavy rain of the year. The part that really kills me is that I was doing triple digit speeds to get to Redwood City and during the drive my group had to speed a bit to catch up to the rest of the pack.....I lose the car switching freeways in traffic doing at most 40mph. The photo guys for the event were behind me for the drive and they saw everything that happened. They said it looked like it happened out of no where,no reason for it,car just let loose. Guess I got off lucky,could have ended up a lot worse if it happened during any other part of the drive!
Another guy at the meet said his Box started getting a little loose but his PSM kicked in,lucky guy.
