That is awsome!!
my '03 996 Cab came to me with a damaged (painted) passenger side bump guard. I was amazed how hard it was to source a nice used one that I could R/R. It's been 2+ years since purchase and still no luck.

I would have it repaired and painted but there is still an amazing backlog of work at decent body shops in our area since Hurricane Michael 2 years ago this week.

This might be the ticket!

It was a little easier than I thought it would be. Made a cardboard template and used a 24x24 sheet of acrylic. Did it all in 1 day. 🙂
