It is actually a very simple repair in the grand spectrum - the GT3 Cup's have these replaced on occasion and if done right, it is all done at the factory points. The entire cast piece comes out and a new one is riveted/boneded in. Not ideal in the sense they break, but in terms of repair it is not all that difficult and the car is status-quo post repair.
I have a question about the rivets used on the lower end of this strut tower. Are they just pop rivets, or something more specialized? I recently got a 991 and while inspecting it I've noticed that the rivets in both of those areas have sheared. Looking to have a body shop do the repair and so far the two I've contacted weren't familiar enough to do the work. Thanks.

Very specialized, in the PAG parts book and body repair manuals.

Yeah, something like that needs to go to a Porsche certified body shop, where they have access to the proper tools and equipment.
