Check this out.....I got in an accident.
Went to the car meet at Carlsen Porsche/Santana Row today. It was cool until I crashed my car. It's all good,no one was hurt. I was changing freeways and whamo! I'm sideways and spinning out out of nowhere!

Does anyone here know what exactly I need to install the 03'+ 986 bumper on my car?

Robert, that broke my heart to see you against that wall.  I'm glad it was minor and nobody was hurt. It happens to all of us eventually. I definitely see an '03 rear bumper in your future.

Glad to hear there were no injuries.

The rear wheel is scratched and hopefully it isn't bent. I will find out later this week.

Hi Blink,
Hope it all turns out alright. Let us know how much damage was incurred. I sure hope they can just realign the rear trunk/quarter and no structural/frame damage was sustained. Looked like a bumper shell replacement until you pointed out the alignment of the trunk and spoiler.
Thank god you are ok, it was a pleasure meeting you.

That very same thing happened to me about a year ago. Car hydroplaned out of control. I landed in the same position, but it was with my front end touching the wall. That's why I have the GT-2 front end now. By the way, what part is that laying on the wall? Looks like a fender?

It's a piece of the bumper.

It was nice meet you as well. It was nice getting some jokes out of it with you and Gerry.
