I talked to the dealer about painting them in house (this is
Park Place in Dallas) and they can do it for a not to exceed
price of $125. This is the guy who does all their detail painting --
consoles, small parts etc.

I understand now that they come out very easily and that they
dealership should not charge to do that part.

So since the car will likely be there a few days anyway, why
not have them pop them out and paint them and pop them
back in?

I am thinking to get it on some weekend -- if the weather
is nice. If it's raining, it'll just have to wait.

I did check at Bumperplugs as Eric does really great work
there (bought plugs and Rejex from him), but this is a less
expensive way to go. And I don't end up with a set of unpainted
ones that I don't need.

And regarding a 987 announcement, I guess I hadn't thought
of it that way. But the S was loaded on the ship this Monday.

So, since I will soon (hopefully) find a new home for the 986
and this is a 986 forum, and I will have a 987, do I have to resign?

I know I need a name change at least -- I am going to ask
Randall about that. He is nearly all knowing about this forum.
The 4S has been gone since October in preparation for ordering
this 987S.

The salesguy anticipates it being ready to pick up the last week
of this month -- a little sooner than I had thought.


If you are interested, here's what it will be:


2007 Boxster S 987
BASE Porsche Base Model
9Q Meteor Grey Metallic
V5 Cocoa Top
RA Special Leather Cocoa
C02 U.S. Standard/Emissions
342 Heated Front Seats
680 Bose High End Sound Package
P77 Leather Sport Seats
M6C Cocoa Floor Mats
551 Porsche Windstop (Deflector)
573 Automatic Climate Control
435 3-Spoke Sport Steering Wheel
498 Delete Model Designation 0.00!!!!!!
401 18" Cayman S Wheel
446 Wheel Caps with Colored Crest
P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package
639 Sport Chrono Pkg W/Out PCM
450 Ceramic Composite Brakes-PCCB
XLF Sport Exhaust System
-------------------------


And they agreed to a fairly healthy discount. (How about that FREE
option there, eh?)

So there you go.

Thanks for all the help and advice -- I really appreciate it.

Best,


- Mark
