Superus...dude, you have a big black circle around your side vent....you might want to buff that out.

LA Porsche dismantlers might be a good source for body panels:

The only bummer is that they are made of Fiberglass material (Precision Porsche Kits). They would be extremely prone to rock chips and cracking(especially the Front bumper). Urethane material is more resistant to cracking and rock chips.

Good point, especially for bumpers. That's why factory is often the way to go. There are a few aftermarket manufacturers doing urethane also, but very few.

I totally agree with Todd. Once you choose a front fiberglass bumper kit, im pretty sure you have to go back to the body paint shop a couple times in a year to get it refinished. Not worth the $$.
