I've had a lot of good luck in the past with small damage and rock chips on many of my cars using Dr. Color Chip. It does a really good job filling the damage and the paint matches are really good.
Just some more food for thought for another alternative to fixing this. Good luck!

why do people think a carefully done repair is 'half-assed'. speak for yourself.

OK - flame suit on - let 'er rip!
Good luck to the OP and apologies in advance if this creates a temporary threadjack. At least I think the OP has good information / advice to use now.

I said earlier in the thread it depends on how picky the OP is for perfection. I realize it’s not a critical or high visibility area , and it’s an easily removable part. But when it comes to applying paint to my $200K Porsche, I let the pros do it because they have training, do it daily for a living, and have the equipment (paint guns, paint booth).

If that's all the damage - then is it CRAZY to take this to a body shop or the dealer. If you want it to look "perfect" - you will be repainting the bumper and front splitter/spoiler. It'll cost $$$ and you'll now have a car with non-original paint on the front.
As others have pointed out, that front splitter is easily replaceable. You could wrap it as is, either silver or black (I personally think black looks much better) for a few hundred $ or order a replacement (~$500, I believe) and get it painted (another ~$300-500 since people will apply Porsche tax to painting it)

Thank you all , i didnt know you could just get the spoiler lip and replace that and be done with it. Thanks for all the help im glad Porsche offers that part , will just order it from suncoast. Thanks again!

[QUOTE=Porsche992;17986325]hi guys , looking for advice on how to proceed about this. So I damaged my front aerokit bumper and was wondering if detailing people are usually good at fixing this kind of damage or should I leave it alone and live with it ? What should I expect to pay for someone fixing this if that's even a possibility ? I just don't want to go somewhere and because they see a 911 they feel like they can charge anything they want and it doesn't even look perfect afterwards. Any word of advice on this would be great ,
This exactly happened to me. Costed me around CAD 3K including redoing the PPF. Expensive grocery shopping that day, lol.
