Bummer for the hit. Hopefully you will get it back on the road soon.

Are you a lawyer? It is a good thing that no one is hurt! Maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to say. Are you saying bummer no one is hurt or just bummer about the damage and its good that no one is hurt. Any how...

I am looking at this bumper.

If you upgrade the front end you have do the skirts and the rear, otherwise it will look lopsided. Or at least the rear.

Morals? Ethics?

I imagine the cement truck driver almost had a heart attack when he realized he had hit a Porsche....

That sucks. The headlight might be the most expensive part of that repair. At a minimum you'll get those nasty rock chips taken care of.

Claim emotional anguish and get enough for the entire Aero Kit.

Is the GT3 bumper and the Carrera Aerokit II Bumper Cover the same?
Suncoast wants $1,395.00 and I found Precision Porsche GT3 Front Bumper Porsche 996 C2/C4 99-04 for $999.99 at Vivid Racing.com?

I once watched a 911 sideswipe a dump truck in downtown Boston. The Porsche driver decided to change lanes - how she didn't see the dump truck next to her, I'll never know. I know I almost had a heart attack seeing that kind of abuse of a fine auto.

Have it checked out further. Look at the alignment of the headlight to the hood. Maybe your headlight bracket is bent also.

Maybe more hidden damage...

Try to pull a 'Larry' and say a snowplow made me get hit by a semi. That guy got a turbo out of the deal.

Any how. Back to the story.

Well the car is being pulled apart. Got my parts order. Only one broken piece that was plastic by the side marker.

Getting the whole front end painted new Carrera Aerokit II Bumper Cover / fender / ect got the radiators cleaned out what a mess. The radiator even had a kids sock sucked up in the vent. Look at all the leaves and stuff on the ground.
