I still don't understand why others think it's fun to vandalize.

Are the hinge monting points damaged?

I bought a same-color lid w/ tail on eBay for about $550 last year (?), dent in corner upon arrival was unexpected & cost another couple hundred to repair & repaint.

Man... What could possibly be going through someone's head to make it seem like a good idea to jump on someone's 911...

I thought Iceland was a good place to live... lots of friendly people... no minority population to take their misplaced rage out on the possessions of others...

WTF???

Now, if you were in say, Chicago, oh, yeah, happens all the time!

Hope you find out who did it, and when you do, don't bother to report them to the authorities... just drop them into a fjiord or whatever you have up there... maybe a boiling spring???

Did they dance all over the car, or just the tail?

JV, you are a legend!!! Personally I prefer a SIG

SE,

That's really sad. Why do you have to find the parts? Are you not insured?

Thanks for the glock "hint" - I´m checking out the selection

Thanks for the sides, I´m have insurance but I´m checking out if I should have the claim paid out and do it my self along with some other things I want to do/update or if I should have it done for me through the insurance company....

That sucks..hope they die before their time.
I can honestly say I have never parked my 911 anywhere I could not see it, unless it is in my garage. Although it will be going to Rennsport Reunion 3 this year....but I dont think there will be any porsche Haters there.
