How do you 'fix' a carbon-fiber car? I've not seem many body shops with an autoclave And maybe Porsche could do it, but I suspect the repair manual states, 'lift off wooden shift ball, slide in new car, lower wooden shift ball'. Billable time: 10 man/years + parts.
They are the greatest car ever created (IMHO), but I suspect that if you have to ask about the price, you can't afford one.

911rox is infamous around these parts
How do you fix a CGT?

From the mouth of the famous Guido Hatzis (Aussie radio prankster) " there is nothing that sticky tape can not fix, mate...."

that's just too much risk. I am curious though, how would the repairs be done by a regular body shop?
