Good evening all -- anyone have any idea what part number this is?

 

Looks like 996 522 425 01, or if it's black 996 522 425 01 01C. Part 11 in Illustration 817-040 of the parts diagram for an 05-08 911, but it could be different for a 997.2

 

I think you're exactly right, thank you so much! Is there an easy way to figure this stuff out or do you just happen to know exactly where to look?

 

It's not always easy, this one wasn't too bad because it was part of the coupe diagram for the back seat. Sometimes it's hard to know which diagram a part is part of, and sometimes the part isn't in the diagram at all. Instead it's in the list with a dash in place of the position.
