+Porsche has long been one of the profitable automakers in the world

A big contributor to that profitability is their personalization program that lets buyers customize absolutely anything on their new ride for a price, usually even if it isn't on the regular menu. Among the crazy items that are on the regular menu are painted trim around the nav screen for $2,225. If you have more money than sense, Porsche is more than happy to take if from you.
