Worst Nightmare ever. Collision in my Porsche today
My front end went under a toyota highlander in stop & go traffic (5mph). My bumper looks OK, minor plastic scuffs from the toyota. My Hood pushed down at the front and bent the middle about 6-8". Main question would be Cost of a Hood and possible front bumper?
If I need a new front bumper, should I go with a OEM replacement or convert to a GT2/GT3 Front Bumper? Will it effect resale value? Thanks for any ideas.

The collision itself will affect resale value. I would document the damage with plenty of pics and the work order for future buyers if resale value is important to you.
Stock is still the most desirable for most buyers, but if you replaced the bumper with an OEM GT2 or 3 bumper I'm sure you will find plenty of buyers who appreciate and value the conversion.
Good luck. Glad it wasn't worse.
