Default Seat Matt, seemingly impossible to find

My driver seat is sagging due to a ripped and unsupportive seat matt. Non of the vendors here nor Porsche has it in stock and cannot get it either (996 521 507 1). Found it on Porsche parts store for $17.09 but shipping is $200, not good.
Any ideas?

Not sure what part you need, but I have an old boxster seat in my basement. I can check on it tomorrow night and if it has the piece you need I can send it to you. Let me know

Thank y'all for the support. I was able to source it from Germany for 18€ + 7€ shipping. Most places in the US either did not have it or if they had it asked for >$50 for shipping! It ships in a small flat envelope.
Again, thanks.
