You are probably thinking of a different part of the mirror than iam talking about, Im speaking of the Satin Finished black triangle shaped mounting base of the mirrors, Look at your sig, its black also. A fellow porsche owner who i see at p-car meets has a 03 gt3 and his mirror bases are body colored... He had the car repainted once that i know of and im sure they painted the base's. Its not a factory thing but i like it.

Nice, CJ. I like the dash pieces painted. I've been thinking about doing mine.

Thanks, Hey dont you already have the center console between the seats painted? You will have a ball once you've painted the side vents, The blade come out very easily and have numbers stamped on them so you put them back in correct order. You cant tell from my photos but i also painted the dash trim that stretches around the top of the dash starting from the top of the side vents, and across the windsheild defogger.... basically linking the driver and passenger side vents. I was actually able to remove them without removing the a-pillar molding but reinstalling means i couldnt reuse the clip that held the dash molding & a-pillar firmly against eachother. Still looks good, Not sporty but tastful atleast... although im a big fan of the silver interiors.

thanks CJ. i put last of the clear coat this morning. hopely i can find some time to install it back this weekend. i'll post the pics once it's in. my boxster is a daily driver and interior looks like it's jacked up right now. but i'm having so much fun disassembling these pieces. vents will be painted once i'm done with the center even though light switch worries me a bit.

[CJ_Boxster]

Look for directions on how to remove the switch. Its pretty easy. but something you wouldnt be able to firgure out on your own very quickly.

ahhh i see what ure talking bout with the mirror, nice touch man.
i think u can pull it off couse u have a dark colored car.
i was actually thinking of painting my mirrors black just because that area of the car is dark (window+trim), but i prolly wont waste my money on that hehe.

a quick Q tho, how hard were the little blades to take out from the vents (middle and side ones).
i want to get working on my interior soon, but im kinda scared of those, they are loose already on the passinger side
