Hit and hide

It really pisses me off that another Porsche owner did this and didn't man-up and tell me he did it and offer to make it right.

Ha! I'm 5'9", 212 pounds, bald, 50 years old, and the only person I intimidate is the owner of an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet when I walk through the door for a late lunch!

That appears to be about 4 inches too low for a bumperette dent. Maybe a kick or baseball or... anything else. It doesn't really matter what caused the dent, you're the unfortunate recipient of it. Sorry for your inconvenience. Since no one has come forward there's no need to speculate that someone from a Porsche event did it. If it was kicked, it could have easily have been someone put off by your (the groups) possessions.

Randall, you are a comedian! Very funny!

You will remember the car the next time you all get together, just look on the OTHER side of the parking lot. He/She will avoid you. Hope they come clean ! I inspected mine to understand the "impact", and yours was a hard hit. Not a kick from a foot. Good luck and hope you get fixed real soon !!! Yep, an older 911 (with a not so straight bumper)

Whew! Been awhile since you got a rear fender painted I would guess. First, the good shops are going to feather it into the door so you can't see a difference between the slightly different color of the new paint vs. old. This requires pulling door trim off, etc. But even if they didn't have to do that and only repaired and repainted the rear fender itself, no way that's happening for less than a grand, if done right.

NoGaBiker is right on the quarter paint work. I just had my rear bumper replaced and a small crease above the drivers side rear wheel reworked (much less than your repair sizewise) and the shop did feather it in to the side of the car. You would NEVER know it was redone. Its so impressive. On the cost side I paid my deductible of $500 and the work was about $2100 total.

New Bumper
New Tail lamp
Rear Quarter work
4 Wheel alignment (just to be sure)

Hope this helps.

This assumption would require information not in evidence. I would prefer to "assume" some gum-ball from the neighborhood or area did this and not another owner/member of your Porsche group.
