Before parting, I am definitely going to get some estimates and get an idea on what some body shops will say. I don't want to give up on it quite yet.
There's a guy on Youtube that is rebuilding a 911 that was also hit in the front and he ordered a bunch of metal panels from Germany. >>

I imagine I could get these from a donor car locally that the bodyshop could use to fix if bending back into place. Just not sure of the front structure of the Boxster and what panels can be "de-riveted" out.
If anyone has any diagrams/info on this please let me know... been searching online can't find much.
Thanks!
