What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Having my daughter being hit twice (Thank goodness she had a 2003 Jeep liberty), I believe No-Fault is where your insurance picks up the costs initially. When it's clear that another driver is at fault, then your insurance carrier negotiates with the other carrier to cover the expense

I took my Boxster to a PDR outfit here in Winnipeg to have several small but noticabe (to me anyway) dents and one 'pimple' fixed. The work looks amazing. I had 4 slight depressions, 2 on each front fender, and a raised pimple on the rear trunk lid removed. The pimple was caused by closing the lid on a plastic bottle in the trunk. Broke the bottle but raised a welt.

The finished results are superb. Amazing, the car now drives better as well! I think I gained 5HP.

The best PDR guys are artists in my book. I've had a few done by a guy that comes to my office parking lot and does his magic there, and those spots are perfect!

Replaced my ignition switch. Harbor Freight has an $8 precision screwdriver set with flexible extension that made this really easy - took about 10 minutes.

Then had to jump start the car due to the old switch keeping the car stuck in ACC...oops.

Replaced my top with a 2003 top and frame! No more split window and no more window chop
Took me around 3 hours to swap - including sorting out some mistakes such as pinching window heater wire and breaking a plastic ball joint.
Purchased the top from LKQ.
So how much is a 2001 top with a cracked plastic window worth?

That's awesome!
Did you have to do any work on the electric bits?

Car is 2001 so no electric work needed.
Electrics only needed on 99 or earlier if you want to upgrade electric transmission parts and relay.

I had the choice of dealing with my insurance company or the other party's. I chose to go through my ins co for convenience. Initially they pay me the repair cost minus my deductible, then subrogates against the other insurance company for 100% of the costs. When they collect from the other insurance company they will reimburse me my deductible.

In my case we both had the same carrier, so my adjuster didn't really care about making sure the car was correct. Forced their hand to replace the bumper cover, too (in addition to the hood, center bumper cover carrier, striker, latch mechanism, and hood release assembly).
