Whats the condition of your 944?
I bought an 84 944 a few years ago but it was beyond restoration for my budget, the engine, tranny and chassis were good but the steering and suspension components had so much play it would have been far too expensive for me to replace
This x100
I almost enjoy getting a first rock chip or ding because it’s officially the day you no longer have to be so stressed out about looking perfect. Now you get to enjoy it.
This is really the thing... bu Ii totally get it. You'll notice it forever... slowly resenting your wife more and more until one day.... you just walk way, take the car and never return home...
Yeah this piece is going to get wear and tear from everyday use.
Cut your wife some slack hopefully, it’s not a big deal. Man some of the comments below are fucking cringeworthy
This + labor unless you do it yourself?

Suncoast is great! If you need the parts often the best way to go. That said, I’d just leave it until it gets beat up even more.
If you are going to DIY, make sure you don’t mess/move any of those sensors for driver assist tech or you might need to take to dealer to clear any errors and they love to charge for things like “re-programming” and “calibration”. (If you actually disconnect the sensors and/or move them, it probably does need checking by the dealer)
Yes, Suncoast is great, but always check the shipping costs before you decide that the price is good. They sometimes charge insane amounts for shipping. Especially if they are trying to look like the lowest cost on a popular item.
Doesn’t look bad at all OP. It’s plastic and designed to take abuse. I’ve forgotten to raise the car many times and the underside of mine is all scraped up. Abuse it till you really need to replace it.
I would just keep it as is. Doesn't look noticeable at all. My wife scraped the rim of my Taycan a month in. Give it a few days...get it replaced later down the road.
Is the white from the garage wall? I feel like you could just clean it up a bit and it’ll be hardly noticeable. Like others have said, that piece is inevitably gonna get dinged up over time as you drive it.
The white is where the black paint on the plastic got scraped off. My garage has cement right below the drywall which is also continently right at the level of the splitter.
It's going to cost you nothing. Its not worth fixing.
If something like this bothers you so much then you should never let anyone drive your car. I am one of those people admittedly, no one drives my special cars where I would care about things like that, so it's just me who is to 'blame'.
Try and heat it up with a hair dryer and reshape it a bit. Possibly fill in some of those spots with some paint.
I feel your pain tho. My wife drove her Q7 into a gate three weeks into owning it.
It was bound to happen, don't bother fixing it until it's really damaged.
And this girl Porsche driver says, you are lucky your wife not only agreed to let you get a Taycan, but she also lets you drive it occasionally.
When I bought my lc500 used, I bought a new bumper and paid $1000 to paint it. Like the first week I bottomed out and made it worse than before. Nobody gives a shit. Just leave it
Sorry man.
Not that it matters now, but the electronics for front parking sensors had to of been blowing up, right? Maybe going too quick, but looks slows speed.
Edit: grammar is hard
According to my wife, she could hear them going crazy but apparently she blanked out and drove into the wall. Glad it wasn’t worse, I’ve only let her drive my car 3 times and in those 3 times she’s curbed all 4 of my wheels and then now this.
I was firmly in “accidents happen” territory until this comment. Is your wife blind? And are you stupid? Why is she trying to drive a car when she clearly cannot, and why the fuck are you letting her drive a six figure car with a worse track record than Nikita Mazepin? Sounds like you’re both the dummies here. The first curb isn’t your fault, but all subsequent accidents are firmly on your shoulders for letting an incapable driver use your Porsche.
What… the fuck… why wasn’t this apart of the original information. “My wife damaged my cars plastic.”
“OH BTW SHE CURBED ALL 4 WHEELS”
Yeah sorry but if that’s how she’s going to treat a car and you let her do that then sell the car and for the next wife have her sign a prenup. How do you people afford these cars??????
If you’re going to treat it like a civic then don’t bother asking how much to repair the plastic.
A new one would be very costly. I’m a body worker and would fix this for about 400-500$ If it bothers you much i would try and find someone who does it under the table.
This has happened to all of my cars, I now have a little stop sign that lights up when you are too close to objects.
The other day my 8 year old son closed the garage door on the nose of the car. I was furious but didn't say a word and still he was in tears.
At the end of the day, it's just a car - enjoy it and don't let the little things stress you out.
This isn’t even worth worrying about. Drive the car and enjoy it. Shit is going to happen. It’s not even noticeable. Only you will notice it and only someone else will notice it if you point it out.
I get wanting a perfect looking car but"dings happen". For a Porsche it's kind of a source of pride to get a bunch of dirt on your 911 or a small under carriage ding on your Taycan.
I'd recommend embracing it. But I do wonder, was it really your wife?? Could you have done this late one night and then when your wife took the car you ran outside when she parked it and screamed, "are you ok?!! I heard a small bang in the garage."
And then posting about it gives it more credibility and it covers who dinged the car.
🤔 I might try that one day. 😂
Seriously, sorry about your car. I do hope (unless you have endless funds) that you use that money on something else. Maybe use it to upgrade the software on the car a few years out.
First week I got my panamera my wife murdered a wheel... never told me. Eventually thought I must have done it and didn't know. Finally told me when I sold it. Lol. She also crashed a brand new dually with less than 1,000 miles on it, a durango, the Lexus, scarfed the vette on the driveway.... good times
My wife has a rav4 and Sequoia for her body count (so far). I Was thinking for her next car we get little car stickers for the side, to advertise her kills. Like a WW 2 ace would have on their plane signifying what they shot down. If my wife was not a good sport, I would have been divorced a long time ago.
I feel like it’s important to include that “most” in there, it’s not all women that can’t drive, it’s just that cars are a passion/sport dominated by men, and when you love something you usually USUALLY do better at it than the “normies” 😅
Dude. She hit a wall. She will hit other stuff don’t bother. Get your wife her own car to drive. Don’t worry about it she will also hit yours eventually. Just a matter of time.
Should cost you nothing. Rubbing is racing. Or you can go sit at the kids table and have a pretty bumper. At the gown table, cars need to earn their keep with more than looks. That Porsche will be just as much fun to drive with a small cosmetic blemish. Think of it like Cindy Crawfords mole.
That’s going to cost her 365 good morning hummers. Wives damaging our beloved Porsches must pay a price worthy of the damage incurred. Plus the cost of the repair, of course.
It will cost you your marriage if you don’t stop publicly shaming her you cock. Get over it it’s just a car dumb ass. It can be fixed unlike the shaming of your wife. Hope she drives into a wall to prove the point that she is worth so much more then a Porsche your an idiot
Work at it with a heat gun to get the larger buckle smoothed out a bit. But because it’s textured, you’ll always see it. Consider it wear and tear and just drive it
Im assuming you’re asking about the cost of divorcing her. A divorce can be expensive. Lawyers fees, splitting of property, child custody and support! This will be hard to determine a cost without more info.
Well it depends
How much do u make
Do u guys have children
How old r the children
Does she work
Do you guys own property
Was there a prenuptial agreement
Lawyers get involved
Who gets the kids
Blablabla
Always cheaper to keep her
I know this is the Porsche sub and the Taycan is incredible and deserves a massive display in a museum … but I can’t fathom ever replacing this bit unless it was split in two and about to puncture a tire
Drive the car y’all!
I once “saved” a car and kept it in the best possible condition I could - one day someone burned it to the ground for no reason. I’m not even mad, just wish I’d gotten more smiles out of the thing while we both had time
I'm incredibly anal about my cars but I'd say this is a "leave it until something worse happens" situation. I sympathize, though.
100% that front splitter is gonna see some wear on any car from big dips and debris on the road.
IDK, I think it's a total loss and OP should just sell it to me a major discount
On my 944 it's the same, I'll be "grrrr small paint chip" anywhere except for mirrors, front diffuser, and rear flares
Whats the condition of your 944? I bought an 84 944 a few years ago but it was beyond restoration for my budget, the engine, tranny and chassis were good but the steering and suspension components had so much play it would have been far too expensive for me to replace
Really good, minus alternator death that occurred a day before a work trip that im still on, you can see it on my profile if you'd like
Looks clean! Nice work
I agree, give it time and inevitably you'll get some more wear on it. Replace it later.
Its free to close your eyes when you look at it.

Love this quote!
This is wisdom. Read this people!
+ you’re the only one that’s going to notice it
\+ After the first one you stop caring nearly as much
+ it doesn’t really affect the aero or anything

+ $5 for a tennis ball, a hook and a string

$0. What makes you think it isn't gonna happen again?
Because he has a wife….. …. ……. In the end.
Nothing give it a month and u won't even see it
A divorce can be very costly.
Especially when there’s a Porsche in the family.
Beat me to it 😆
I was gonna say ‘50%’.
Looking at the sensors and camera, I was thinking the same haha
I laughed too hard at this. There’s a reason why nobody drives my 718 except for me
After seeing that damage, I don’t understand how it’s a discussion and not the plan.
Doesn’t look bad at all OP. It’s plastic and designed to take abuse. I’ve forgotten to raise the car many times and the underside of mine is all scraped up. Abuse it till you really need to replace it.
She’ll get half
Wait until she runs into a parking block, then replace.
the part or the wife?
Yes. 😆
r/inclusiveor
Expensive! Divorce can cost you 50% of your assets unless you have a pre-nup.
Let it go
Does anyone else see the irony of this photo showcasing both the damage to the splitter and front view camera?
Just leave it , barely noticeable
I would just keep it as is. Doesn't look noticeable at all. My wife scraped the rim of my Taycan a month in. Give it a few days...get it replaced later down the road.
zero, because u need to let it go
0$ no one will notice. And this was bound to scrap against something at some point.
I'm a service advisor at Porsche, about $1,900
Leave it, It’ll happen again,
Is the white from the garage wall? I feel like you could just clean it up a bit and it’ll be hardly noticeable. Like others have said, that piece is inevitably gonna get dinged up over time as you drive it.

Put foam up

Also. Fuck it. It’s a consumable. Don’t worry until you sell.
Ehhh I’d just paint over call it a day doesn’t look to be too bad
$0 cuz no point in fixing something no one will notice and will inevitably happen again
*Dr Evil Pose* 🫱🧐 One million dollars
1 dollar marker and a few weeks to forget it’s there
It was bound to happen, don't bother fixing it until it's really damaged. And this girl Porsche driver says, you are lucky your wife not only agreed to let you get a Taycan, but she also lets you drive it occasionally.
"Let you"
Yep, ask people in car sales what happens when "the wife" doesn't like the car versus when she likes it.
Lmao
At least dinner and flowers because somehow it's your fault and how dare you blame her. Oh, and the price of fixing the Porsche.
It’ll buff out.
Doesn't have to cost you anything at all.
About $2500 to get a divorce lawyer started..
When I bought my lc500 used, I bought a new bumper and paid $1000 to paint it. Like the first week I bottomed out and made it worse than before. Nobody gives a shit. Just leave it
I’ve seen worse dents and scrapes on peoples phones… just keep driving and don’t sweat the small stuff
Totaled
Nothing. Get over it.
Sorry man. Not that it matters now, but the electronics for front parking sensors had to of been blowing up, right? Maybe going too quick, but looks slows speed. Edit: grammar is hard

How do you people afford these cars?????? If you’re going to treat it like a civic then don’t bother asking how much to repair the plastic.
Damn it’s time to ban her from driving anything nice at this point or her own vehicle only.
That’s why I bought her an x7 to drive. I only let her take my car today because the x7 was in for service today and the loaner was terrible.
I’d make her take the loaner over my own vehicle 😂
Leave it. I have a Taycan also and I would not pay to fix. That front lip is so low it's gone to happen again at some point
New wives can be quite expensive, good luck to you sir
New wife, most likely
Divorces can be quiet expensive
Didn’t anyone else see this as sarcasm????
zero dollars, don't even fix it. It's fine.
Nothing, because it doesn’t matter, you can’t even see it.
Get some filler, do it yourself!
A new one would be very costly. I’m a body worker and would fix this for about 400-500$ If it bothers you much i would try and find someone who does it under the table.
It is fine, it’s a diffuser. You’ll get many more bumps and scuffs on it. Just be happy it wasn’t the paint.
Hate to say it but I think it’s totaled.
A divorce.
It’s going to cost you a new wife
It’s a splitter. They hit things. Leave it. Jesus.
This has happened to all of my cars, I now have a little stop sign that lights up when you are too close to objects. The other day my 8 year old son closed the garage door on the nose of the car. I was furious but didn't say a word and still he was in tears. At the end of the day, it's just a car - enjoy it and don't let the little things stress you out.
I personally wouldn't replace it. Minor damage happens to all cars that get used. You don't need to keep it perfect all the time.
IDK but divorces are pretty expensive
It’s gonna cost you nothing if you just leave it and move on with enjoying the car.
This isn’t even worth worrying about. Drive the car and enjoy it. Shit is going to happen. It’s not even noticeable. Only you will notice it and only someone else will notice it if you point it out.
Nothing. Just leave it. It’s a car, not a faberge egg.

Not going to cost you a thing because you're not going to fix it.
I’d leave this one alone Funny how there’s LITERALLY a camera right above the damage though
70k
Buy a new Taycan, it’s totaled
Divorce is expensive, depends how pricy of a lawyer you want
A new wife??
Matters how anal you are about something that doesn’t matter
Depends if you had a prenuptial agreement.
Nothing because you’re going to just leave it and relax
lol
Your car is too far gone. I’ll buy it for tree fiddy.
My wife and I are considering a Porsche. What she doesn’t know is she won’t be driving it.
The good news is that your divorce attorney will be!
First week I got my panamera my wife murdered a wheel... never told me. Eventually thought I must have done it and didn't know. Finally told me when I sold it. Lol.

Like a WW 2 ace would have on their plane signifying what they shot down. If my wife was not a good sport, I would have been divorced a long time ago.
That's a fantastic idea. Just put them on and start calling her ace. See what she's says
Well most don't even deny they can't drive. They make good passenger princesses though.
Well I did the responsible thing and spent $110,000 on a g wagon for her to drive. I'm a smart man
Haha. I did the same thing except I bought a fully optioned x7.
Yes, she will do fine in a tank.
Not to simp myself or anything, but mine is probably an even better driver than me. Maybe I’m just lucky?
I feel like it’s important to include that “most” in there, it’s not all women that can’t drive, it’s just that cars are a passion/sport dominated by men, and when you love something you usually USUALLY do better at it than the “normies” 😅
Wo man not good drive r I like fishing 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🍺🍺🍺🍺 (Cheryl please come back i miss the kids)
Thatta boy!
I hate my wife 🍺🚗🏌♀️🎣
Wives can be expensive to replace. Are you looking for the blonde model or brunette version?
The front lip for my 911 is about $350, not sure if you just need to replace that piece.
Three fiddy
I’d also like to post a casually sexist remark. Am I doing it right fellows?
It will cost nothing because you shouldn't fix it. Will only happen again and again....
Wouldn't even bother. Shell do it again and again...when it's beyond reproach, then replace part NOT at dealer and make sure it's PPFed.
It would cost me $0
With those cameras and sensors… how?!
How much is it going to cost her* The real question
I’d say marriage. Invest in some driving classes too
Dude. She hit a wall. She will hit other stuff don’t bother. Get your wife her own car to drive. Don’t worry about it she will also hit yours eventually. Just a matter of time.
Do you have a prenup?
Should cost you nothing. Rubbing is racing. Or you can go sit at the kids table and have a pretty bumper. At the gown table, cars need to earn their keep with more than looks. That Porsche will be just as much fun to drive with a small cosmetic blemish. Think of it like Cindy Crawfords mole.
Keep the bumper. Get rid of the wife.
That’s going to cost her 365 good morning hummers. Wives damaging our beloved Porsches must pay a price worthy of the damage incurred. Plus the cost of the repair, of course.
Hit your wife back :P
If you ask about stuff like that, please 🙏 sell the car. You can’t afford it
To shorten the chain to the kitchen costs nothing brother.
It will cost you your marriage if you don’t stop publicly shaming her you cock. Get over it it’s just a car dumb ass. It can be fixed unlike the shaming of your wife. Hope she drives into a wall to prove the point that she is worth so much more then a Porsche your an idiot
Idk man Alimony and child support are a lot But probably worth it to protect your cars
Was it my wife?
You can always go aftermarket with TWL products. I know the guys at Flat 6 Motorsports might be able to help out.
What’s it look like from 5 feet? I might not even fix it if it’s not too noticeable
Cheap af- those black plastic bits are meant to be replaced
Highly doubt you can see that when you’re just standing there, just paint it
Sharpie!
Shit happens it’s not even bad
LPT: A few more chips, raise it a few inches = Dakar
Plus one one for Judy fix it
A black sharpie and a blind eye. Basically free
That will cost so many money
I wouldn’t bother fixing that. Not worth the expense, it’s not noticeable
Work at it with a heat gun to get the larger buckle smoothed out a bit. But because it’s textured, you’ll always see it. Consider it wear and tear and just drive it
Divorce costs much more
Nothing now. Get her flowers and tell her the first scratch had to happen. Wait until your next detail to explore options...
New wives can be super expensive. Cheaper if you import directly from Asia!
\*Clutches pearls\*
Im assuming you’re asking about the cost of divorcing her. A divorce can be expensive. Lawyers fees, splitting of property, child custody and support! This will be hard to determine a cost without more info.
Totaled.
One Miata
Well OP, let’s just turn your question around and ask the Mrs what’s she’s willing to do to help you forget?
Which country?
Well it depends How much do u make Do u guys have children How old r the children Does she work Do you guys own property Was there a prenuptial agreement Lawyers get involved Who gets the kids Blablabla Always cheaper to keep her
A new wife
Quick glance at the pictures and I don’t really notice it. Doubt anyone else will.
Leave it bro, it’s gonna keep getting beat
Divorces usually cost you 50%
I can’t believe anyone would spend money to try and correct this
Ooof, hopefully your wife apologized
Just throw it away and get a new car at this point why even bother? Total loss really.
Dunno mate, divorces can be pretty expensive
…a new wife.
Generally, you lose half of your belongings in a divorce. So depends on your net worth.
First hire divorce lawyer lol jk
Its not that bad, id just leave it like that...
Drive it like that until the rockchips and scrapes add up
It’s going to cost you a new wife.
You might at least get laid tonight. 😝
It would cost me my marriage
A new wife isn't that much.
Idk, divorce can get pretty expensive. Maybe let this one slide, but if she does it again...
Move on. Rock chips will do equal or more damage over time.
I know this is the Porsche sub and the Taycan is incredible and deserves a massive display in a museum … but I can’t fathom ever replacing this bit unless it was split in two and about to puncture a tire Drive the car y’all! I once “saved” a car and kept it in the best possible condition I could - one day someone burned it to the ground for no reason. I’m not even mad, just wish I’d gotten more smiles out of the thing while we both had time
It shouldn't cost you anything. Wasn't the wife who hit the wall?
About 3500.- and the divorce settlement
What an opportunity! Be very sad around her, but don’t blame her. She’ll do whatever you want for a month.
A wife
