If you find a great detail shop and a great PDR guy, you may be able to squeek by with only a bumper repair.

I once had a 2000 Black Box that looked very very rough when I bought it. After a number of go rounds with Klasse All in One and about five coats of Klasse Sealer, even I was impressed.

Good luck.

The front hood has a few rather large dents and the bumper cover needs some work. There are several dings that might be able to be fixed via the PDR. A lot of scratches and swirls everywhere. All cleaned up it looks great- just don't look close up.
From the replies so far I think I'll take it to a shop that my mechanic said does good work and see what they have to say. Maybe some areas just need some TLC.
Basically, all I want to do is spend a couple of thousand dollars so this car doesn't embarrass the Porsche name.

Thanks again.
