Even though I had mine repaired by the dealership before picking up my C4S, they just had them repainted, so I know they'll go bad again...ordered a set!

$160 is nothing vs. the hassle of looking at those ugly white patches on the buttons.
Porsche is to blame here.
My mother's 2003 Honda Civic A/C buttons look great.

Didn't see that. To sellers credit, he responded to my email immediately.

Installation took a bit longer than expected, about 40 min.. worth every second invested, I couldn't be happier with the results

When it happened in my old C2S I just used a black Sharpie to touch up the white spots. Looked ok. But replacing would look better.
