If any of you guys & gals want red door pulls, just buy our RS full door panels with red pulls for $189.00 and save a few hundred.

I went the other way. It's interesting that Suncoast links to Rennlist for the DIY door-pull installation instructions.

I should acknowledge that the door-pulls do come with some mechanical gizmos and include both left and right doors for $400+.

But it says RS so it's got to be good and I am sure will make our cars faster and the steering more direct

well, not actually the key fob or the door pull...but pretty damn close.

The poster was free from PCNA, don't remember where I signed up for it. It is double sided, which makes it twice as nice. However, that means you have to choose a side to display.

I believe it was P.T. Barnum who said "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Those Key Fobs are hand stitched and meticulously crafted by Gretchen and Ruth at the Ingolstadt Porsche upholstery center.

They only make 4 per day. I think it's a bargain!

Ummmm... not to defend Porsche or any other manufacturer... but what is it that you guys do for a living that can not be done for 1/20th of your salary by a person in India or China?

Market will pay what market will pay. They chose to price it high and sell very few. Any HK night market has thousands of the same items for $1. They also have thousands of Pateks and Breguets for $40. I don;t see a line of Rennlisters sporting those things for some reason. Makes me wonder.

Just look at what owners pay for exhaust systems...that only make noise.

To some it's "noise"...To others, a symphony!

This has now solved a part of the math as to why the GT3RS's are more expensive than the vanilla GT3's, - it's those darn expensive door pulls!
