Holy Hell, dude. At today's rate, that is about $94 USD. The US is a big place and gas prices can vary a lot, but in Las Vegas, I just filled up for $41 (30.54 Euros).

You paid $$ for the car and the service so don't settle for anything less than what will make you satisfied. I'd personally go back there and demand to have them fix it to make it right like Diode Dynamics said because for me this is them essentially damaging the car and not adding value to anything. You'd take it back to a body shop if they did a shoddy job or had over spray everywhere, right?

Although there might be some metal parts in the engine bay needing rust proofing, plastic and rubber pieces should not be one of them.

Document everything they say and the people you talk to just in case you need to take further action.

I'll take some good pics once I clean my car up!
But the armrest is great. It's at the perfect height for the shift knob and its surprisingly solid. I couldn't believe how heavy and sturdy it was. It fits securely in the cup holders and just from driving around with it today, I can't imagine not having it!

THIS HAPPENED TO ME!! Living in NY this seemed like a great idea. I had this done before i picked the car up from the dealership. I popped my hood and looked at the sales person.....he could tell i was pissed. Mines not quite as spotty though. Its not too bad to get off. I dedicated a hot day to it and got 95% of it with some paper towels and a little brake cleaner when it needed it.

Heh, there's so much room there after a CAI, we might as well develop a second trunk space, or maybe a tool box.

Or fill it with flat six. I'm still waiting for someone to put a new Boxster / Cayman crate engine in one of these. Yeah, you'd be better off just selling the BRZ and buying a Cayman, but the thought of one of these cars making flat six noises arouses me.

1987-88 Porsche 944S. They're as close as Porsche will ever get to a BRZ.

Porsche is fairly close to a BRZ in this photo:
