Did you know it used to be black

Yeah, they go grey. I've tried a bunch of trim restorer stuff, it never lasts, so when I pulled my bumper to clean the radiators I painted them with Rustoleum "OEM" black trim spray paint. Very happy with the results - came out black but still looks like original plastic, not like paint. Only been painted for a few weeks, so can't speak to longevity other than it's lasted longer than anything else.

They were all black until the introduction of the "S" model in 2000. Standard on all "S" models is the "titanium" colored trim on front bumper intake vents, windshield surround trim, & trunk emblems.

I don't know if this ever changed but I think it remained thru the 986's maybe longer.

My 02 S was always titanum and never black. I only know because i've removed my bumper a few times for cleaning my rads.
