Yes. That was before I cut that piece of PPF off. Not a cut. But definitely down to the metal.
Change thought process is my advice.
this is what I do for a living, new hood is needed, fenders need to be blended, lamps need to be removed, bumper needs to be removed, then Porsche would need to perform calibrations, post scan... If I was to take a guess, $4000-$6000.Hey folks. So just have a quick question. My wife backed into my car and the bike rack on the Jeep caused a significant scrape down to the metal and minor dent(s). Insurance thinks my deductible will cover the damage (1k). Anyone ever have damage like this and what was the cost to fix? Waiting on an appointment with the body shop.
Thank you for your answer. This is pretty much what I was told today after I had time to digest the enormity of the job and I talked with the guy at the shop. I’m glad this was very minor and no one was hurt of course and my feelings about it are truly first world problems. I just hate that this will be so involved. The quote was over $9k.
Yes ouch! That is what I was thinking too but a bit less. Had to do an Audi same...just bumper respray for minor curb rash and it was almost $4k. Once bumper is removed vehicle has to be recalibrated for safety systems. Had parking lot tap to my 992's bumper and a similar paint repair was $1600 out of my pocket! So yeah quote is a bit much...thinking $4-6k and I'd get another quote to compare. Good luck!
Nope...PDR is like $250 for the smallest spots. So can't imagine that you'd get away with this repair for under $3k. New part alone will be about $2k and then paint and install and color matching (shouldn't be. problem for a good shop but one reason I am waiting a bit on an M4 CS hood for my Shakir Orange M4). So be prepared.
Yeah or you own a body shop or Porsche dealership.
Ding...ding...that is the issue there. Parts for the assembly line are in short supply so it also affects replacement/repair parts too. I'd get that one hood locked down ASAP otherwise the wait from the Fatherland may take weeks/months to secure one for your repair. Good luck.If you're going through insurance, just get them to replace the hood. Retail is $1,851. Btw, there is only 1 hood in the US. Once that's gone, it will have to come from Germany.
Yes that is what they say...don;'t wish to test that proposition tho.
Yes it is amazing what is required on these modern vehicles to repair them...removal of lamps necessary yes but not sure of the bumper removal but likely to get the new hood aligned properly. But that is what you DON'T want..just cause per Porsche protocols for repair expect a nice additional charge to re-calibrate all the safety systems like ACC, Innodrive, Surround Cameras, Parking Sensors...etc.. It definitely isn't cheap...ask how I know!
Hi and sorry for the up. I hope that you are doing fine. Was the price($9k) definitive? It's a robbery. It seems to be that nowadays we should be familiar with welding, plumbing etc... I've purchased a welder for $400(this one) and it saved me a lot of money. Nobody wants to work less for $100
God bless my wife. She’s the one who pushed me to getting my dream vehicle as she stated that I “never get anything for myself”. So even if she does this inadvertently to a new Taycan, I will thank my lucky stars.
Exactly what my wife, son, and grandson said to me. It still took them 6 months to talk me into it.
Congrats...got a rock chip on my roof today from a 18 wheeler...or road debris! Was like man...now to find the best paint chip maker on the marker for Pcars. Road debris!
Do those guys still exist? Yes remember those Earl Scheib paint jobs well....ah they did make it a solid color but things like good clear coat and paint depth expected of a P-car..not so much! LOL
