After frontend respray - I'm so happy!
What a difference front end respray and getting rid of bumperettes make!
"While was there" also resprayed both fenders, hood, side mirrors, installed OEM turbo s airducts, put new clear turn signals(thanks, MikeS!) filled license plate holes, replaced bumper beading(MikeCap, thanks for all the tips!) and hood crest.
After having front bumper with so many rock chips(got the car with 54k miles) for a year, sight of clean front end takes my breath away. I am SO happy I've sprung to that - unbelievable!
Did R&R myself and very happy with that - I saw what a body shop can do here with putting front bumper cover back on somebody else's 993 - the gap was not even and looked awkward.
Now the 2-months wait starts before clear bra goes on... Also, can not put [carnauba] wax on it for another two weeks(three weeks after the respray). Well, at least I can wash and polish it as much as I want!

That looks great. My front end is pretty chipped up and I've been thinking about doing the total front respray. I know there was a thread about this recently, but do you mind if I ask what you paid to have that all done? Thanks.

Brendan, $1700. Besides actual painting(masking, etc.) that also included filling bumperettes and license plate holes. But no R&R - I brought/picked up car from the paint shop with frontend stripped down and bumper cover taken off the car.

Beautiful. That's the way they should look.
