I wish I'd taken before photographs.

My front bumper cover had a slight crack in the front and a lot of road wear from its 113,000 miles on the road. I decided I couldn't look at it any longer and had a local body shop take a look at it.

They (Classic Coachworks in West Chester - They did great work) agreed that epoxying it may not turn out for the best so I agreed to have a new bumper cover painted and they did an excellent blend job with the rest of the paint on the car.

Since the bumper cover was new and the surrounding paint wasn't, I wanted to get some of the rock chips filled in and buffed out. I had a local detailer (Oakes Detailing) apply some touch-up paint and buff out all of the swirls.

Overall, I'm very very happy with the results. I just got the car home but I can't wait to take a few better pictures when it's light out. It looks like a nearly new car.

Here's a teaser for now.

Wow, that's gotta be one of the nicest 993 wide body cars around.
Best color combo too.

Yes more pics please.

Saw it on their Facebook page and figured it was the Bonusmobile. Looks awesome!

silver cars look sweet with the 996 turbo wheels!
enjoy!

MrBonus

Haha, I think I'm going to hang onto it for a bit longer. I have put too much into it to turn around and sell it right now.

For anyone that's interested, here is the write-up of the detail with lots of photographs.

A few bad shots I attempted to take.

It's pretty hard to make a 993 look bad.

question.. with a new nose, why not go with the Euro version and remove the bumperets?

MrBonus

I wasn't aware of this option until someone pointed it out to me on another forum. If given the chance to do it over, I would have gone Euro. Oh well.

levtron

wasn't trying to make you feel bad about it... I got lucky. Previous owner installed a Euro turbo bumper, and then I had the headlight washers deleted as well...

Car looks great BTW...
