Worth a try, got nothing to lose really.

Thank you ALL for the advice! I saved a ton of money. I was able to remove the bumper cover easily. I tried to create a DIY video to share with the world, but it was difficult to hold the light, the camera, and tools all at the same time. My girlfriend wasn't around to assist. So... I took the hair dryer and gently pushed the dent out. It was very easy! The scratches were deep and couldn't be buffed out, so I took it to a paint shop and got it painted. Looks perfect. However, they had to remove the P-O-R-S-C-H-E letter emblems to paint it. I'd like to restore the letters. Is this something I'll have to purchase from the dealership, or can I have the sticky backing restored some other way? Nothing like this on ebay. thanks!

There are a number of chemicals that will remove the old adhesive from the letters. I would start with brake clean or grease and wax remover since I always have those on hand. Body shop supply shops or auto parts stores should have emblem tape. I prefer the 3M brand. You can cut the tape into pieces the right size to adhere to the back of the letters. Clean the paint with grease and wax remover so the tape adhesive on the letters stick good. Use good auto body masking tape to pre-mark the placement for the letters. Remove the tape backing on the letters and stick them on the panel. Hope that helps you out. I used to work at a auto body shop in a previous life.
