Aerokit purchase, paint and install SF Bay Area?

Hey all,

Just found out that someone had backed into my 997S leaving a nice golf ball sized dent on the rear deck lid (missed my lower bumper thankfully). Not sure when and how this happened and looks like I'll have to eat the cost

I'm trying to stay positive and since the rear deck lid will need bodywork or likely be replaced I am thinking of upgrading with a factory Aerokit.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experiences with pricing/purchasing, painting and installing a full factory aerokit on their 997 here in the SF Bay Area. I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible as I have a fairly high deductable.

Appreciate the assistance in advance and I have posted some pic's of the damage so you can feel my frustration. Thanks alot.

Sorry to hear about the mess. I have a brand new GT3 front bumper conversion kit that I just bought from Suncoast Porsche, still new in box. If interested, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Alex and Pete for the info. I just called Sharkwerks (Alex wasn't in), seems they specialize mainly on add-ons to the existing body, not so much install of the factory aerokit.

Pete, thanks for the offer, ill shoot you a message offline on pricing for the gt3 front bumper. Though, I am looking for a standard full aero kit. Also, if you have a recommendation on a good painter installer in the area, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for everyone's help!

A few guys with GT3 bumpers went to a place called Cecil Beach in San Jose. Their cars look pretty good.
