I coughed up $1770 for the job which does not include the hood I provided and the emblem - they fixed the front, pulled it back into shape, repaired both fenders, filled all the rock chips in the bumper and installed the new hood - all painted up, blended and looking sharp - the panel line up is as good as its going to get....

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

now I am not a camera guy... in fact I really suck at it...but I had to get some shots of the car today since it just came out of the shop for a nose re-paint

pics are as good as I shoot... enjoy and post comments/feedback
PS Eric @ bumperplugs shipped my plugs this morning (bumper and door)
No on bumperetts. Cant justify the cost of changing from black to.... black
IMO they are fine, if I had a yellow or red... maybe -
sleep well.... funny you should say that because when i woke up I said to myself, man I slept well, then I thought I wonder if having my car home made me relax ? Then I read your post - hmmm, never know
Thanks guys for the compliments and looking
$$$$$
geez give me a minute
LOL
that is on the list...Its one of those...."for sure on the next car" items.... not sure how much I want to sink into this one
So in the sunlight today - overspray on my mirror, a buffer burn on the edge of the hood, and swirls damn near everywhere.
Called, they said, "bring it back" so I did. He said, "the paint is soft, wait 3 weeks and bring it back, we will fix it all up"
Free of course, sounded reasonable to me - agree?
Hey, that's what I call mine... "My Shiney"... as opposed to calling it the "pcar" which a non-porsche owner wouldn't get... Or "Porsche/Porschuh"... which comes off a little like name-dropping in my humble circle... "My Shiney" describes it best...
Rudy
Im glad u got her back Ed.... she looks great!
As for the Aerokit nose with stock radiator scoop.... if you stick your finger inside the edges of the scoop, you will notice that it doesnt mate with the insides of the bumper cover. You will loose some pressure that pushes the air through the rads. I modified mine to seal with the bumper. Will post some pics later... Im on a holiday with the fam.
you are ALWAYS on holiday
Thanks Fred, Love to see the mod - its been three days... I am looking forward to taking some parts off
bumperplugs are here, I might wait for a couple weeks so the paint if fully cured - then again.. I might put them on now
Looks nice! I wish mine was chip and dentless....
IMHO they have to be either pristine, or rock chipped to hell. I'm still working on rock chipped to hell.
