SpyderX

I have been looking for information on what components the Boxster Spyder shares with the GT3\RS:
The interior door panels and door straps is an easy one.

Are there any other components that can potentially be swapped?

The whole doors (aluminum exterior skins), not just the interior panels. Sport bucket seats were standard in both cars as well (but other seats are optional in both cars).

I can't think of any other unique parts the cars share.

I think the biggest difference (Not that you're asking) is between the engines. The GT3 engine has many internal changes which allow it to generate more HP. I know many here own both GT3 and the Spyder, I'm sure they will chime in with more details.

The GT2/GT3/RS models have a completely different engines, not just internal changes.

The 3.6 and 3.8 engines in the non-GT 911 models (including the Turbo) are part of the same family as the 2.9 and 3.4 in Boxsters/Caymans.

the engines are totally different. the gt cars use the mezger gt1 engine, and the boxter uses the 9a1 engine.
the interiors share many ancillary parts like seats, steering wheel, gear lever, e brake, satnav, buttons, switches, stalks, belts, door pulls, dash wart and so forth. the gauges/fonts are different, as are the aircon vents, and mirrors.
