Yes. If it's an insurance job, 100% replace the cover.

Fair enough. I thought it was a dent. A new bumper cover -> insurance. I stand corrected. At least your metal panels would not be painted.

Yes.

I think if I didn’t already have a sense for how different the 992 GT3 performs I’d be conservative and keep both. But the reality is the 992 GT3 is much improved.

Need to go get it inspected.

They’re working on our alley, so all of the cars have to be out front. Feels like we’re running a South Arlington used car lot.

Washed the 997.2 this morning. Not bad for a 14.5 year old car with nearly 60k miles. It recently received a clean bill of health as well.

I am thinking about going back to the factory center caps. To my eyes the color center caps seem to make the 19” wheels look smaller.

No opinion on the caps other than I'm happy to see they are properly aligned pointing to the valve stem. Easy 10hp upgrade.

I might be a noob to the Porsche world, but I am aware of the center cap etiquette.

Apparently Jerry Seinfeld and Spike Feresten did not have a clue about the center caps and it was brought to their attention during one episode of Spike’s Car Radio. They both found it rather absurd.

Ahem. Used car lots are in North Arlington. In South Arlington we have bus depots and waste treatment plants.
