You may be able to dye that part black with some Rit dye. May be worth a try if a black part is not available.

Thanks guys.......guess I don't understand the struggles vendors have with little simple parts.
Is there a shortage of black plastic in the world. I think not
Why would a vendor buy these milky/white ?? Knowing they should be black and then spend time on the phone with buyers and time sorting thru orders sent back........Cant be worth the trouble.

Did you ask Stoddards why they don't bother with the small details??

That's on my to do list for this morning.

Spoke to Mark Taylor at length at the PCA Werks Reunion on Friday about parts and parts problems. He says he is very interested in gettng feedback. His title is Product Develeopment/Marketing. He came across as being very sincere.

I did send and email over the weekend to Stoddards re the color .
Also reviewed part number again and their site shows the black version?
901 552 365 20
Perhaps they interchanged the part when packaging.

Talked with Stoddards parts guy.....says the milky white is all Porsche is offering .
They will be changing their photo.
Also checked other Porsche parts suppliers with same results.
Seems impossible in this age that black plastic is not available for these parts?
