I just got my 2009 997.2 C2S about two weeks ago.
5 days later, I parked it at Ralph's parking lot & someone scratched my rear bumper & they did not even leave a note. Check before & after pics.

Well, I got the bumper fixed by a mobile bumper repair company & had car detailed a few days later. Here are the pics finally. After much research(thanks to 6 speed online), I plan to install Factory Aero kit Cup, Fabspeed Exhaust, etc. Will post pics of my progress. Thanks again for all the great info here.

 

Congrats!

How did the mobile people repair the bumper?

 

They were referred by my detailer who has more than eighty 5-star reviews on Yelp, so I trusted him. They did a fantastic job fixing & matching the paint for a fraction of the cost plus it only took them only about 2 hours.

 

2 more pics of my car. Really enjoy driving it daily

 

She's beautiful. Great color. Glad to see that your repair worked out. Too bad the schmuck who did the damage couldn't own up.

 

Thanks. karma will catch up to whoever it was.

 

Love the full black. I think if you tinted the windows it would complete the "look"

 

BTW, I just click the link to your post about your car's options & pics. Your car looks amazing!
The building in background comment was pretty funny too

 

Wow, sorry about the damage but it looks perfect now. Very nice. Your Porsche looks amazing! I think you'll love the Fabspeed.

 

Thanks. I'm seriously considering the tint as well. You got the best avatar--lol.

 

Be warned if you tint the rear window, it may reduce the auto-dimming of the windshield-mounted rearview mirror. (which also controls the side-view mirror auto-dimming, they all go together)

I like the rear tint on mine, but with the windows down up front, the lights in the side mirrors are noticeably brighter at night. I guess putting the top down would solve this

 

Nicoli,
That's real good info. I didn't even think about the auto dimming mirror. Thanks.

 

didn't realize a mobile repair could do such a good job. Good to know. I agree, heres my murdered out black 997 C2...I also had tail lights tinted with film...................badass look IMHO...

 

They did an awesome job on the repair. It looks great. Karma will catch up to dbag that did that to your ride.

 

Can you post a link to the bumper repair guy you used? I haven't found a great one yet.

I keep telling myself Karma is a B1tch but I seem to be the one who keeps paying! My carrera has been an parking lot A&*hole magnet. 2 months in, 4 dings (and a paint chip in one of the doors caused by some torn up road rocks) Well the chip isn't noticeable, it touched up fine. My paintless dent guy got all the dings out perfectly a couple weeks ago.

I park my E60 on the street in a very parking impacted beach community and in nearly 3 years (knock on wood) a MINOR little nick in the rear bumper (easily fixed with a dot of touch up paint) and one very minor ding pulled out by my door ding guy.
