Matching bumper to the hood and fenders where it's all on the same flat plane is a challenge. A very good shop should be able to do better. Any Porsche certified shops around?
there are a couple- I'm going to reach out to them tomorrow. Thanks!
Just like anything else, most of the time you get what you pay for.
quite true. This car came from The Porsche exchange and I was told by Michael Semersky that their paint shop is one of the best in the country- certified as well.
Likei saod earlier, it's not as noticeable to the naked eye. Pictures definitely highlight it more.
Any paint needs to be tweaked from the formula to the specific car. Only a good paint guy with a great eye can do the best job. Two GT silvers cars made in different years or months can vary slightly right from the factory too.

Yep! The exchange handled it prior to shipping to Denver. Paperwork was finished and I was sent two pictures on an overcast/rainy day that looked ok-so the car was shipped out.
Really not a huge issue but a bit annoying. I was planning on painting the spoiler anyways so we will just have them look at the bumper too.
Any good shop is as good as what guy is doing the work. They have their great ones and so so ones. Plus add in turnover, and you know where I'm going. If in Denver, you should have some great options.
So between the tail, the paint, the matching front lip, the electronics to tell the car there is no moveable tail, what is the total cost for this ? ;-) Thanks !

If you're wondering what your car will look like when done, here's my GTS GTS with duck and GTS grill. (I ordered the car with duck, added just the grill myself).
Man, the ducktail is surely my first big 911 mods for my car. Love the carmine red interior damn. My car is Agate Grey so I doubt it's going to be hard to match compared to a GT silver.
