Can I assume from your post that you live in Pacific Palisades? If you PM me, and or email, I can help. Live in Brentwood, own many Porsches....and many that have been repaired or restored....
Send a PM....
I cannot sent you one, assuming you're not a RL member. Yet....

Sorry to hear about accident. When My 10 GT3 was backed into the Nationwide rep wanted me to use one of their shops. The estimate he gave me was half the final cost at the shop I chose, Quality Automotive in Cincinnati. The shop owner didn't mind my stopping in to check on progress and even called twice to invite me over to see what they were doing. There was no way the Nationwide recommended shop would have done the same quality work for half the price.
Find a good shop and take it to them. You won't regret the leg work.

Take it to the BEST shop you can find based on the recommendations.
Your insurance or the other guys will try and steer you to their "preferred" collision shops as stated.
You DO NOT have to use them. You can use whatever shop you want. Many people get swindled into going to their shops.
They usually SUCK and only are "preferred" because the insurance company gets a good price from them.
Get a top notch job!

What a first post! After a couple years away from Porsche (I sold my Turbo S 2 years ago), I finally took delivery mid-December of my white 2015 GT3, and already got rear ended when stopped at a stop sign this past weekend. The rear bumper is cracked a little, and the license plate light is broken. Nothing too major, but I'm going to need to get the bumper replaced. Luckily the driver had insurance and admitted fault. Now I need to figure out how to get it fixed. Geico has a list of shops that I can use, but I want to make 100% sure they use OEM parts, and there isn't any issues with the paint, resale value, etc. I'm located in Los Angeles. Should I take it to a special body shop? The Porsche Dealership?
Any insight or advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Sorry to hear that! I had my last new car rear-ended within 5 days of driving off the lot, and it was a hit and run.
That's why I'll be installing front and rear dash cams on the GT3 ASAP.
