Default What can you order from Porsche OPC Parts Dept?

So on my GT3 I didn't spec alcantara belt outlet trims on my GT3. My friend's car has this option and I think it looks great. I've sent my dealer my friend's chassis no. and a picture of the part but have been advised they're having difficulty getting a price. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

In addition, if I wanted for example the dashboard end parts in leather and had the chassis number for another vehicle couldn't I supply this to my dealer to obtain a price for it or do I go to a company such as Exclusive Option?

Kind regards

You can order pretty much everything through Suncoast. Great to deal with and very quick in getting the parts out: https://www.suncoastparts.com/

What’s the difference between the two ? Hadn’t heard of sunset Porsche before. Do these guys have better pricing?

Just another dealer like Suncoast, they are in Portland. Sonnen I found has the best pricing overall.

Dashboard end pieces
Thanks for the replies. I generally get a discount from my dealer - the question is can I order any part or do I need to go to a company like Exclusive Option to do the leather bits I want for the interior?

mc_blue,
In regards to the seat belt outlet trim, we have the capability to either do them in factory matching Leather or Alcantara.

For the dashboard pieces, there are two options: A) done in matching leather/stitching to combine with your dashboard or b) done in Alcantara with your dashboard's stitching which some customers have opted to do as a differentiation. Below is an example of various dashboard endplates in leather.

If you have any questions about our interior Leather/Alcantara components, please feel free to contact us via PM or email.

Porsche Centre Sutton Coldfield has located the four alcantara belt outlet trims for £210. Lead time unfortunately is 8 weeks but that's cheaper than the option price!

My original question remains. Does that mean I can order any parts - i.e. the dashboard end trims from my dealer?

Yes. It’s a pain for the dealer to find the right part numbers, but if you dig you can get pretty much anything.

Perfect. I'll share the part numbers when I've got them!

Sunset is cheaper than SunCoast,
Sunset cuts us group deals here (GT4 lip, THX Luke @ Sunset)
Sunset is faster shipping to West Coast destinations.

I must admit I have not tried Sonnen yet, thanks much for the price tip, will try next time
