Not sure if you have had any work done yet but I am fairly well versed in the body shop industry. People say respray of hood.....your hood will be replaced, hard to tell in the pic but I am pretty sure your bumper can be repaired. I know you have fear of fenders being out of line but they are not. The hood is completely buckled which gives the illusion that your fenders are out of line. Your headlights are out of align because your bumper is pushed in. What I am getting at here is your only damaged parts are your hood and bumper. Maybe some minor stuff going on behind the bumper. Certainly no frame damage. Hope this info gives you some sort of peace of mind.

Thanks! General consensus is the bumper can be repaired, 8 hrs of body work and 4.2 for paint. Also, general consensus is hood will be replaced. The front trim where the latch is, is down for replace. The latch is remove and re-install unless things don't line up after the new hood. Fenders are down for alignment at this point. Paint protection film will have to be replaced on the hood and bumper, maybe the fenders. Lights are remove and re-install.

Jake,

Keep your eye out for a Porsche Performance Driving School. Its a bunch of fun and you will learn just how great Porsche brakes really are as well as how great the car really is. The brakes will stop on a dime and give you 5 cents change

Dodge Ram Truck rear-ended me while stopped at a light WTF! I just changed plugs and was going for a nice sunny ride; Insured is a company and I will get my revenge through factory repairs, DIV, and rental car (hopefully a Porche).
