Those tips aren't the only baffling thing about their options. Look at the side mirrors. When I was ordering my GTS I wanted to have the lower black pieces of the mirror painted body color, but no can do with Sport mirrors. Not having the whole mirror body color just looks cheap to me. However, if you get the folding mirrors, it's no problem for $650. There is one way to get the Sport mirror lowers painted body color, but that means spending $1420 to get the mirror uppers in Carbon Fiber, which kind of defeats the purpose.
I ran into the same thing on my GTS and I looked into it via CXX: $1400 to paint the lowers. Funny though since on the 4S you can get them painted.
By the way, the OEM Black tips are not cheap at about $850 a pair.
I got the Sport Package on mine and the chrome tips are mandatory as are the body colored sport mirrors, per Porsche.
Wasn't a concern to me as I like the chrome tips; they are the only bit of chrome on the entire car and highlight the center exhaust, which I also prefer.
Changing them is a breeze, so customize as desired.
