paint spider cracks

Just about to load my Panamera Turbo at Reliable Carriers to take to Sarasota Florida when they showed me some "spider cracks" above and beneath the orange marker lights on the front plastic bumper. About 7 or 8 spaced symmetrically next to each other in a slight curve. I was shocked. No idea what would have caused that.

My question is can this be painted at a reputable shop or does the entire plastic bumper have to be replaced? Also, does anyone have any knowledge of a good shop to repair it in Sarasota? I'd have done it here in Michigan at the speciality collision shop that does all of the Porsche work, but it was now about to be loaded on the truck. Very concerning.

Bumper cover might have flexed from being "bumped."

I have the same problem. I was quoted $1200 from dealer to paint the whole thing., but might need to take it over to Tom at Champion to see what they can do.

I have a place in Fort Myers that does body/paint work for my business. Haven't used them very long but the work coming out looks great.

I lived in SE MI for 35 years - where do you reside in MI?
