Did you just go to a local body shop to get the front bumpers painted? I'm looking to replace my orange ones and can't seem to find an aftermarket part...

The wheels look so great! Am considering doing the same on/to my PTT ST. Mind telling me how much they charged you? I have a local guy and would like a comp before I ask him for a number. TIA!

That's not all that bad for a dealer. Thanks. I'll ask mine...

So you just pop them off, wrap them, and pop them back on? What product did you use to wrap them?

I took it to a wrapping place. They did it while on the car since I didn’t know how to pop it off at the time. $40

Late response to say thanks on wrapping the side markers. Question about the center caps - where did you get the black gloss ones? My dealer painted my wheels but left the center caps silver (ugh). I can't find them on Suncoast explicitly as 911 Turbo 21" style in gloss black. Does Porsche sell them?

Ebay
suoer cheap knock offs but look oem. Just search under glossy black Porsche center caps to fit any Porsche except macan. And go for the gold crest not painted yellow ones
