I recently purchased a CPO Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet. Unfortunately, like all CPO cars, there was some underlying issues that didn't quite pass muster with me when I purchased it so I took the car to my dealership in Newport Beach to see what they recommended. In this case, the previous owner of the car looked like he had parked on top of a few curbs on more than one occasion and although there was no visible damage to the upper visible portion of the bumper, there were some pretty deep grooves and scratches on the underside, so I decided to have my dealer order me a new bumper and have the old one replaced.
The dealer ordered up the new bumper for me and shipped my car over to Sterling Collision Center in Tustin who apparently does all of their certified Porsche body work.
I was given the GM's contact info, Ray, and started dialogue with him on what I wanted him to do which was basically remove the old bumper, paint the new one and replace it on the vehicle. In addition to doing this, I also asked him if he could paint and install a fixed wing on my car in lieu of the stock spoiler, which he said would not be a problem.
Car went in on a Wednesday and came out the following Thursday. It looked amazing. They matched the charcoal metalic paint beautifully and there is absolutely no visual difference between the bumper and the original body panels. The spoiler also looked just as good. Ray even returned all my original parts like I had requested.
On the day of pick up, they took me into the warehouse and showed me everything they had done. They also wanted to make sure that I was 100% satisfied with the job they had done, which I was.
Every person I talked to at the organization was friendly, responsive and eager to help. I would strongly recommend Sterling if you have any sort of exotic car or something that needs a little extra TLC... These guys are great!
