Thanks guys,
I will definitely check about the diminished value of the car.I was not aware of that coverage. But now I have to prepare for Isaac. Hope I don`t have to make a claim because of this frigin storm.
Thanks again,
David

I am still working through a State-Farm claim...good luck! They are trying to cut corners. At least our cars are hard to find used parts for...believe me, they tried very hard to find used parts.

Very sorry to see the photos but pleased that no one was injured. To me it looks like a total write off. Cost of Porsche material and repair men will add up to more than the car is worth. Hope all works out well for you.

Andy,
I actually got it back about a month ago. It just took me this long to post.
It is great to have it back.

It drives great just like before. I will have to take it back. The engine bonnet does not pop up like it should and the backup lights don`t work. Still waiting for devalue check.

Was curious how the color match looks in person as mine is midnight blue and one never knows when It might take a hit and need done= and color matching always scares me lol.I had my front bumper done and it matched very well but I consider that lucky.Your car looks as good as new in photos enjoy!
