RoW Front Bumper Cover
On the way home today, I hit (with my car) a big cable that flew into my lane (on the freeway).
Luckily, only the front bumper cover appears to have been damaged. I can't tell if anything behind it was affected.
Either way, my guess is that the front bumper cover will need to be replaced.
This unfortunate incident might be a blessing in disguise: Euro front cover (i.e., no bumperettes).
Is Sunset the place to go? I have had nothing but great experiences with them, but was wondering if any of you has any thoughts regarding pricing, etc.

Bummer, dude. I'm glad it didn't do more damage.
I can't help with your question but I am interested in the answers and/or what you finally decide to do. I removed the bumperettes on my 968 and simply installed the Euro turn signals. No problem. It's a shame it's not that simple with our 993s. I've seen what some of the guys have done to rebuild their US spec 993 bumper covers to eliminate the bumperettes but that's WAY too complicated for me. If you find a good source for a replacement ROW bumper cover, please share it with us.
Good luck.
