Echoeing what Randall said, don't buy parts from the local dealership! They have at least a 50% markup on those things! You could've saved a lot of money by contacting Sunset Imports which is a Porsche dealership, however they only mark up their parts about 15%.

As several members have recommended, Suncoast and Sunset are great. But now you pulled the trigger, I recommend you send the old parts to Eric at bumperplugs.com and have them painted in silver or something dramatic so you can sell them to recoup some of the cost.

That much for an ashtray lid??!! My ashtray delete kit was only about $50.
