Smindustries,

Ouch! Sorry to see what happened. You have only cosmetic damage, but very expensive cosmetic damage. You will need a new wing, lens, various bits and pieces and a new rear bumber, plus a little body work. I'm not a body shop, but I'd guess $8k-$10k. And your exhaust looks undamaged. You can "upgrade" a tiny but by ordering a Euro rear bumper which doesn't have those black bumperettes... a matter of taste. You can also upgrade the turbo wing to a turbo "S" wing for about the same cost... again, a matter of taste.. Just trying to help you make some lemonaid from the lemons.. Good luck..

Yucko!
I have a perfect factory rear wing with both inner and outer grills that is surplus to my requirements, but it is Arctic silver and your car appears to be Polar silver.

Smindustries

Thanks for the well wishes, gentlemen.

I just got off the phone with my body shop and the preliminary estimate is $25,000.

Ouch! Do you mind telling us what you just paid for the car?

good luck
obviously something expensive got bent/broke underneath - what did they say

Did the intercooler get damaged? There may be some stock used ones around, or some interesting upgrades available. Keep us posted..

Smindustries

The intercooler is damaged, both rear quarters are damaged, a piece flew up and hit the roof, the exhaust is damaged, the fan is damaged, etc. I won't be using anything but new parts and I'll upgrade whatever needs replacement.

I don't understand why some of you think that $25,000 is expensive to repair that sort of damage. Work of the highest quality takes time and money and I'm pretty sure that's why you guys are driving some of the best Porsches ever built.

The guy repairing it is the only one I've come to trust over the years. He'll take 6-8 months, but the car will be better than the day it left the factory. Right now he's replacing the roof of a 993 that was damaged. It's ~$22,000.

Sorry to hear about the damage. Back to the original question, it looks like you have a Fabspeed muffler bypass.

Hope the the bozo who rear-ended you has enough insurance to cover your loss.

But most importantly, glad you're not hurt.

IamSMC

Its not that they don't understand......

Its that the $25000 price-point represents some pretty serious damage......

Lets hope its not in your case.
