I would second Brace's, and actually my car is there right now getting the front bumper resprayed. They specialize in Porsches. They also have a paintless dent guy that they use.

ScottC and Father of 3, I agree...an incompetent PDR can turn one dent into hundreds of little dents - it happened on my other car. adsc4s, Thanks for the tip. I'll ask for Tommy in Inland Empire and have him look at it.

My car is over at Brace's right now too... I actually drove past it today on my way home in the rental, cause I missed it. Im getting a new front valance, spoiler and one fog light... its not getting done until late next week though.......however Im very confident that Brace is the best and will do it right.

David...I saw your 993 there the other day when I dropped it off. Very nice!

Just an update. I called Brace's and they told me they're not even taking any more cars until the 1st week of April due to being extremely busy. I could not locate Tommy (Dent Wizard) in Inland Empire. So I took my baby to Holmes Body Shop (no affiliation) in Pasadena recommended by my insurance company and I'm very happy with the outcome. They did an absolute fantastic job, matiching the paint perfectly (orange peel and everything). I visited the bodyshop every single day - seeing the daily progress- constant communcation with the shop advisor - making them aware that I was dead serious etc probably made the difference. Anyway, I happy to get my baby safely back in my garage.

Jason,
Your car turned out great. Hopefully you will never need another bodyshop again, but if you do I can definitely recommend Braces. They did an incredible job on my car. I also have the number for the paintless dent guy who is mobile that Braces recomended.

db,
Is your car the silver C4S? If so, I was oogling your car (ask Gary, as I told him how much I liked the silver C4S). I am sure your car will look perfect when they are done.
