Wrecked 993
I have a 1996 NB 993, I took out the driver front fender, mirror, both rims, and the front bumper. I have a few questions,
1. I live in So Cal and was wondering if anyone knows a good source to buy a used front fender and two rims.
2. I have read that some people have installed a turbo front bumper on a narrow body 993, is this possible, with the Turbos wider fenders?
3. The car has only 43,000 miles and needs some other paint touch ups aside from where I hit it, would a full respray be better then just touching up the car and respraying the drivers side?
Than you,
Kevin

Sorry about the prang. Front fender widths are the same for turbos and narrow body cars. I wouldn't repaint the whole car, but it does depend on how the paint is on the rest of the car. I'm going to guess it looks fine. You're just talking about a LF fender, mirror and bumper.

Based upon my experience they are the place to go. But you gotta deal with them in person. It’s like anything. Have you found a body shop yet. That, to me is most important. I am in SoCal and can tell you we have some good body shops.

I have used LA Porsche Dismantle numerous times with great results. But, I was there in person with cash in hand. Sadly, Todd, the owner passed away last year.

I have used them in the past. Had some suff that had to be sent back and became an issue but they made it right.
At the end of the day, a part is a part. And if they have it with fair market price, then take it.
Just make sure you get a good picture and discription because returns are possible but shipping is a money racket.
