Final update: I went back in, and complained after the walnut blasting didn't do much for the cold startup, and that left only the injectors and the coils as possible culprits. They replaced all 6 injectors, and for the last few days it's been starting up smooth as before! Yay!
My car just went past the 50k mark so factory warranty is done, although I have an extended warranty on it. What would that cost me approximately?

My car was under warranty still, fortunately. I have no idea how much it would cost to replace 6 injectors, but I can't imagine it would be cheap. Or it could be coils from what I've read. Best to try to trouble shoot it I guess, though I don't know how you can narrow down which injector it is. I know when people have misfires, after having replaced spark plugs to rule them out (they did mine too with the blasting), they swap coils to see if the misfire follows the cylinder the coil goes too, or not.
Good luck. It's a PITA to troubleshoot.

Is your car still under factory warranty? I had the walnut blasting done as well and while it helped my idle vibrations at stop lights etc., I still have it when I start my engine cold. Same symptoms as you.
