D9 was working on them but they haven't released a product yet nor have they provided any updates on them for a long time.

They haven't removed the bumpers and fenders yet to see the rest of the damage but, here are some preliminary pics.

Sorry to hear....call 944online and get them to send you a quote for factory parts, SUBMIT that to the insurance company AND THEN fix your car after you get your check. When Rob got hit, that's what he did and got the entire car painted, new weather stripping, clear protectors, front header and bumper sourced from RL people, total out of pocket....$942.

Yeah that doesn't look bad at all! I'd be SHOCKED if the insurance company totaled it.

Beautiful car by the way!

Man, my rear end was worse off than that. Over $4600 to get it fixed. And the insurance paid up! I even got a little cash left over, out of the deal.

There is a place here in Denver that I like. I took my 924S there, my friends took their minis there, my sister took her nissan there, and my dad's 85 911 is currently there. they do ridiculously amazing work, and mostly do German cars. they come with my highest recommendation.

Yea that doesn't look too bad.
While you are working on it though:
PUT IN A DANG DOOR CHECK! That will mess up the car worse than that little fender bender did...

John,

Isn't this just a little extreme length to goto to get your headlights aligned to the body? Just kidding, they will have her fixed up in no time...
