<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I’d like some feedback on painted interior pieces (same as exterior color).</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In talking to my dealer they said they could paint the interior pieces in body shop at much less cost than ordering the options with the car. Has anyone done this?</div>

<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">One thing I’m not sure about here would be quality. K-MAN’s center console looked metal – was it? This is quite different than painting over the plastic?</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">What happens when you order it from the factory? i.e are they painting plastic or painting metal?</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Thinking center console and interior design package…</div>

I got into a Cobalt Blue 996 4S. The paint job was well done. However, it didn't feel like actual metal.

keithfox,

You want to talk to Eric of Bumper Plugs, he will get you all the info you need. The console I got from them was the same exact Porsche part that Porsche puts in the Cayman but instead of being painted by Porsche it was painted by Bumper Plugs for less than 1/2 the cost. Eric is going to be painting some other parts for me shortly as well. I can't speak for your dealer's paint work, but I would find it hard to believe that it could be better than Eric's. You thought it was metal it was so shiny!

Crazy Fast,

I don't work for them so I don't know their whole line-up, I would suggest checking their website or calling them to get the correct answer. I think they do, but I don't know for sure.
