Thanks for the compliments everyone! To answer a few questions:

Rear Bumperettes- I agree, I would like them painted and its on the to-do list!
Painted console- I had a friend paint it, the most expensive part was the paint, Zanzibar is crazy expensive as it has a 3rd stage Pearl. It took 2 times to get the match right. The biggest PIA is removing the rubberized coating. I thought Bumperplugs was expensive on this but real world I spent close to that in agravation and $$. Happy with how it turned out!
Dash Trim Strips- These are needlessly complicated as they are fastened from the back, why they dont just "pop" in I will never know, Porsche! I had damn near the entire dash out doing other stuff such as adding the OBC, console delete, etc so I figured all in. Just be patient and work your way thru it.

Here was disassembly:
