That really sucks!

May I suggest you check into zero deductable comprehensive insurance. At least with State Farm it costs very little to go from $500 to $0. (This type of damage is covered under comprehensive.)

Will post some pics today. Luckily I have a good insurance company, $100 deducltible, went under comprehensive. Now the only problem is that New Orleans is still rebuidling and the porsche body shop is low on manpower so I cannot get the car into the shop til Dec 5.
Would you guys trust another shop?? I dont know if it is better to wait or to try another.

The Porsche body shop manager probably doesn't like to tell customers this, but every dealership body shop sends out work to local shops when they are swamped. So, you could pry this information out of him and ask him who they job out body work to in the area, then call them.

A key job of that magnitude is like a grizzly murder, usually someone has an issue with you. I wouldn't be surprised if it was keyed by someone you know..
