Default Sport Seats - Replacement part help please

ISSUE RESOLVED - THANK YOU

Had my sport seats show up today...to replace the Pole Positions I have in the car now. Seats were as advertised. In excellent shape overall.

Unfortunately, they didn't pull the drivers side lower cap/cover off before shipping - and it cracked and fell off during shipment.

1) Trying to track down what this piece is formally called - and if anyone knows a good place to find one. I did some googling and can't find it.

Thank you for the assistance here.

Bumping up an old thread as this is exactly the part that I need. Pretty shocked to see it listed at $160, and I need one for each side (Part # 99652131501A03 and Part # 99652131601A03). Any idea where best to source them cheaply? None listed on Ebay presently, and about to call LA Dismantlers. TIA!

I couldn't find a used one...bought from Porsche directly and paid over $150. Crazy. What a rip off.

Thx for the prompt reply! And was hoping for a different outcome, but alas. Called LAD in the meantime, nothing in stock, and when they checked the prices new they themselves gasped! Rip off it is...

No better example of the "Porsche tax"...one of the first oem parts I had to buy when I got the new car. I was like WTH?

Heck at that price it should at least have a Porsche logo/crest somewhere!
