Ebay. Aftermarket, but well made and reasonable. Make sure to verify the diameter and color info. Here's the seller to look up, very nice person. mhinojosa_357

I believe they're Tequipment.

Good for you! The real deal! Mine are a 75 buck eBay knockoff I'm afraid. It's hard now to find them with Porsche on them, most have nothing or another brand. They can be a bit hard to mount as you need an angle attachment to drill the steel pedal arms.

Here's what I did, but it's really hard to find PORSCHE on them.

Look on eBay. The seller I got mine from is now out of them. Paid 80 for 4. New OEM can be as much as 200 or more. Search center cap Porsche badge and the mm of the disc, like 76mm etc.

I guess I spoke too soon...

I got that duty fee a couple of weeks later too - wasn't sure what it was for, then I remembered the Rose Passion order.

I'd still recommend them - it was easy, well priced and got here much quicker than I expected. The local FedEx delivery was the biggest delay (added almost a week sitting in their warehouse waiting on delivery).

That is the best bumper I've seen, love the subtle look but not too crazy!

Yes, I was impressed with the shipping time too. Six days from France to San Diego including clearing customs. I have no problem with the $40.00 fee, I'm just surprised that FedEx didn't hold the bumper hostage until it was paid.

Installed the new gas cap.
I’m glad it came with instructions

Without instructions, floormat installation can be tricky too.

I got one too. LOVE IT. The only thing that makes me smile while filling the tank! I did find that there are issues with it holding it's seal, even after clicking it a few times.

Got the wheels and suspension put on today….but a debacle with the toe arms means I had to overnight some Motorsport versions from Tarrett to get her buttoned up and back on the road on Monday

she doesn’t look too shabby though:

Look like TE37's but the centers are throwing me off. I had a set of 18X10.5 +22 on my Evo and HAWT fire... One of the GOAT's.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't know they had 996 fitments
