Try a little harder next time - half the fun is figuring out what these are - I had no idea of the name either. Took about 5 minutes. Try "Front Structural Components", then "Splash Shields" and click on one of them and you get a picture of all 7

I'd be curious as to why all of these are missing. When you get it up on the rack, check to see if there is any undercarriage damage. Hard to believe a service tech forgot to reinstall all 7.

I got PPI from PowerTech in NJ, before I buy the car, and they are professional independent Porsche Mechanic.
They said car seems good, and he also said car without this cover usually has damage under the car, but this car has almost perfect condition on its bottom.
Everything was good except this, and Carfax was Clean as well.
I also checked paint thickness on the car, but they are all even.
the onlything I can assume is car has aftermarket exhaust and maybe it was taken off when it was installed. Previous owner did not install it at all, so he also did not know about it.

SO, it's weird that the car is missing these parts, and yeah, It could have been in accidents who knows.
but thanks to all of you.

Mystery. They wouldn't need to remove these for aftermarket exhaust though.

any other possibilities?
If there was an accident, and why covers are missing?
all the bolts for the covers are still there, and it was taken off by someone in purpose for sure. but I do not know why.
