I know a Boxster owner who installed a yellow tach in the center, and kept the other dials black, like how Ferrari does it. Looked kinda cool.

Eject button:

The knobs are from the Becker radio that is factory installed in the Chrysler Crossfire. I was tired of the cheap looking black knobs, and while I don't own a Crossfire, it looked like they would fit our radio, and it does. You can get them from Beckeraudio on EBay. Just search for Becker radio knobs and it should pop up. If you paint your current knobs, you should try to use flexible paint or it'll crack. These knobs, you can squeeze em without worry of the paint cracking, and they look better than the black stock ones.

They want $53 CDN PLUS $46 CDN shipping for these 2 knobs. Jeeeeeezus that is criminal. Then again I don't have to buy them. I Plastidipped mine and they look new. The silver does look good though.

Yeah, the silver knobs actually make the radio look retro to me, which is kinda cool. A few years ago, I read that Becker Audio sold the pair for only $23. Crazy how the prices go up so much, and the price you say they'll charge to send to Canada is crazy. Do they make silver plastidip?  I am thinking that you can paint them with some type of paint made for plastic that allows some bending, sorta how the paint on a bumper is flexible?
