Well, I'm hazarding a guess that unless you had the car torn down some and put on a Celette Bench you really don't know whether the frame (chassis/tub) is bent. Your post reads more like wishing it is not bent rather than knowing it is not bent.

Given the extent of the damage that I can see from just one side I would operate on the assumption it is bent, something more than exterior sheet metal is bent. Maybe not severely bent, maybe even fixable, but bent.

Either way, my opinion from seeing it in person and I have been working with wrecked cars for years, if it is bent the front is bent down a bit but not enough to twist the roof as the first poster replied.
That being said frame is not even in question in this thread and honestly I don't care if it is bent or not.

the moronie sticker doesnt list a code just the price. i took a pic of the sticker under the front boot lid and can email it to you. pm me your email i have lost it again for the 10th time! DOH!
i havent seen the sideskirts on a non aerokit car but i know it was an option package. bigger front lip than the c4s style , side skirts, and rear decklid non motorized spoiler was the package. $7980 extra

macster its hard to see from the pic but the front looks as oem as mine does.

Oh no I didn't take offence maybe that's the way it came out but I didn't mean it that way.
Just meant to say I am looking for the PO, bent frame, fixable or not I don't care about.

Yeah could be an illusion like you say. Good luck with the project.

What happened with your 02 Boxster S? I had one for 5-6 years and it was fine. No comparison to the 911, but it treated me well at least.
