Default Rear decal/trim replacement at dealer?

I'm looking to replacement rear/trim decal on my 991 CS to black ones to get a more GTS kinda-of look. Based on reading it looks like most recommend having the dealership replacing it for me.

The parts/kit is $200 on Suncoast.

How much did you pay at the dealer for the job? 1h job?

Ask your dealership if they have the templates.

Second on the templates. If they don't have them, find one that does.

Porsche certified body shops have them, Anderson Behel in the Bay Area for example.

I was perfectly gruntled with their badging.

Upgrade took 30-minutes on PTS Macan S. Use painters tape to mark location of each letter. Use dental floss to remove old letters.

I also used painters tape to line them up. Came out perfect. It took no longer than 30 minutes. The parts are maybe $125 for all black.
