So...here's the update. I took it to the authorized Porsche collision center here in Tucson. The guy working on it, apparently, has 30 years of bodywork experience, so that's great, IMO! I was very impressed to see where they're at so far. It doesn't look near as bad and even in this rough state, the gaps and door line up perfectly. So far, so good!

Please don't mock me for how dull the colored caps on the wheels look...I'll polish them when I get it back!

I knew it could be pulled out. Just need to find the right old guy that has the patience, mad skills and awesome tool box. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.

Adult beverages all around....

I am glad hat you were able to find the right person, as proper body work is an art that sadly seems to be disappearing.

In most states, you can have the drivers license suspended until the guilty party pays for damage or sets up a payment plan.

Here is some info on Texas, but your state may vary.

At least make their life difficult so they will get insurance and this won't happen to the next guy.

EDIT: Can't find anything similar to the above site for AZ, but here is some legalese....
