Default Porsche Crest Center Armrest--A Good Source To Buy?

For some reason, I have come to the conclusion
that I need a leather Porsche Crest Armrest in my 997.

Does anyone have a good source to buy such a piece?

Try Sunset (Portland OR) or SunCoast (FL) for that.

Heck, there's gotta be enough crashed 997s nowadays so you can give a new home to a salvaged one that meets your specs. Find on net somewhere.

mine actually has Carrera S on it from the factory, so maybe you would want one that is more like factory? or do you have that and want the Porsche crest instead?

Yup, Suncoast has the crested lid in stock and ready to ship. I opted for the model logo script and had to wait nearly 3 months for it.

I appreciate your responses guys.

Surprise, surprise, these things are pretty pricey -- $350 for black.

Go "salvaged." I bet $150 that route.

I would think a black leather Porsche crest arm rest in "new" condition
may be hard to find.
Any sources you are aware of?

I hate when I get alpha numbers like that.

Could you give me the numeric phone number please?

I sure hope they have an arm rest.

OTOH, The condition would probably be "perfect" because guys take care of their cars and then unavoidably wreck them. Though my car is not wrecked my arm rest is still "mint" yet it's few years old. Black leather interior is also very popular among wrecked and non-wrecked cars.
