If you can live without the Porsche logo, and if you want to try some other colors, find somebody selling the "UVS100" sunshade made by these guys:

You can usually find them for much less than the Porsche branded one and it's the EXACT same unit.

Good Luck.
I shopped briefly but found the covercraft shields have the same price as the genuine one.

This. I bought mine from Autoplicity last year with 20% off and free shipping. It's a great quality sunshade.

I bought this one from Amazon. I have one for my 996 and one for my GTI. They both fit nicely and work great.
