How much are the repairs? From those pics, there is no way that damage should total the car. Paintless repair might even work, unless it's too wrinkled.

A quarter panel is only around $1500 from Porsche, maybe another $100 for labor and paint. I just had a bumper cover replaced on my 996, and it was around $600 for labor and painting in Austin

Who is the insurance value of your car is more that there repairs company?

You argue with them. Show them sale listings for true for similar cars from Cars.com, Autotrader and Craigslist.

Insurance companies don't care about IMS, upgraded exhaust, slotted rotors and upgraded brakes, yada,yada. They don't know how to value them

Where in Austin are you? I recently moved to Austin. PM me and lets chat
