Hey all,

Well, took possession of my 99 boxster on Saturday and today...road debris came out and scraped the driver's side of my front bumper fairly significantly (deep gouges, about 8-10 of them, spread across 8" high and 12" long).

Going to see if my comprehensive insurance will cover this.

Between the gouges and such, I'm guessing I'm going to need a whole new bumper cover. Which is fine, since it's had some scrapes on the bottom front from curbs.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for replacement?

I can do OEM, but I was considering:

1. A 2001+ Boxster S bumper if it'll fit and work the same
2. Another bumper if it's cost-effective and fits the same

Looking for recommendations on how I can work this into a plus, hopefully spending only my deductible.

Joe

P.s. If insurance will do it, I'm going to work with Cavallo Auto Body in Newtown Square/West Chester, PA....they seem like the best in the area.
