Thanks! I don't recall the actual part numbers but I'm sure combing through any online dealers part listings they could be found. Here they are from Suncoast though: Replacement Bumper Grilles : Suncoast Porsche Parts & Accessories (suncoastparts.com)

Super simple and self explanatory when you're actually working with them, don't sweat it. I had no prior knowledge of how to remove, just started prying around with my hands and it became obvious. They effectively just clip on the plastic spars that bisect the radiator inlets. No special tools or tricks needed, just popping the old ones off with your hands (they install from the top side) and popping the new ones on.

Yes sir, have fun! Super simple but makes a big difference visually I thought. You'll love it.
Seeing this old post actually made me nostalgic for that car! Should have never sold it, was all the pared down basics you need in the best generation of open top Boxsters. Sigh...

Thanks but there’s a TYPO
It’s 987-505-311-XX not 805 for those looking for 987.2 Boxster Spyder front bumper cover.
Ugh, talk about having too much time on your hands.... Attached is an analysis I did of the part descriptions on the site you mentioned. Looks like Porsche has a different front bumper cover for every option combination. That says to me that they are not the same. I'd want some test fit proof before I bought one.
