FYI, the one on the ebay link above is not an OEM part.

sorry to bring up an old thread, for you guys that bought the eBay key covers, how was the fitment?

at $18, I'm thinking it'll be "you get what you pay for", but at $125, I don't know if the OEM one is any better.

There appear to be 2 or 3 different suppliers. I've purchased four sets, two for our 981 (gone) and two for our 991. The 981 trim were great - carbon fibre knock off, deep color, tight figment. The carbon fibre for the 991 fits good but is light colored. A mother color mismatch fit good but wrong color. A chrome set only fits okay - I noticed after it was too late to cancel that it was spec'd for a Cayenne.

The "good ones" we're around 20 plus shipping. The chrome was 29 with shipping if I remember correctly.

Overall I'd do the eBay route again but take a bit more time to view all the suppliers. Sorry I can't remember the name of the best supplier.

Or you just order a black car and you're set
