In my experience with these tires:

Don't patch these tires unless the puncture is dead center in the tread and you absolutely have to.
Anywhere else (2-3" from the sidewall as yours is) replace it.

I am sure this is too close to the sidewall to make do anything safe so you won't likely find a shop willing to repair this, at least not one that is reputable. You spent a ton of money on a great car, no sense is taking any chances to save a couple of hundred bucks at this point.
