I've never had anything painted at a body shop (well nothing that wasn't covered by insurance). I wonder which would be cheaper. Getting them painted or buying new.

From Bumper Plugs...

Boxster Side Vents (986) $279
Rear Center Console $379
Painted Non-Smoker Package $149
Front Center Console $279
Upper A/C, NAV trim $129
Lower A/C Trim $129
Lower Console Batwing $129
CD Storage Surround $139
Ignition Rosette 986/996 $149
Hazard Surround $149
Fuse Panel Painted $159
Body Color Dash Trim for $239

$2308 (yikes)


And I didn't see a painted door trim option for 986 or painted mirror triangles. A lot of that cost I'm sure is just the base price of the trim pieces themselves. It sure seems like it would be cheaper to have someone paint the trim you already have.
