Hi guys,
I just got back from the dealership (Inskip Porsche in RI) having the damage from my accident looked at. The Body Shop Manager claimed he could panel beat the quarter back into shape without taking it off. He said that the structural integrity of the factory welds are better than what anyone can do in a bodyshop and that a small weakening of the fender flair is better than weakening of the rocker panel and decklid joint. Does this make sense to anyone else.
Here is a reminder of the damage
I guess as long as it is put back to the same place it doesnt make a difference. Also the repair is guaranteed so if the panel flexes and the paint cracks its their responsibility.
Any thoughts are appreciated
PS For those guessing it was an off duty police officer who ran the stop sign. And of course SHE was driving an SUV.
