Upgraded console lid
Has anyone purchased either of the console lids available from Suncoast with the Porsche logo embossed into them?
There are two available. One for $699.95, the other for $269.95. I am obviously attracted to the lower cost option, but would be interested to see if anyone has one and whether they look "low cost" (cheap).
Pics of each below, although you can't really tell from the pictures. The first one is the lower cost option.
Thanks.

I assume the pricier one is leather, and the cheaper one isn't? If so, pictures will look the same, but up close and personal, the leather will feel and look better. For that kind of money, you can get your whole center console covered in leather at some places.

According to the site the more expensive one says premium leather, while the other says basic leather/leatherette.
Guess that's the difference, would just like to hear what the quality is like on the lower cost one, and if it'll match my interior (full leather).

I installed one of the less expensive ones as my plain 'ol vinyl one had a scrape on it.
It looks great and is really all you need IMO - the OEM one is ridiculously cheap looking and feeling - with the stitching and the embossing this one does the job for me.
I'm sure the full leather one is plusher and has a nicer smell, but this looks and feels like leather and I personally think the $700 can be spent better elsewhere.

Thanks Chris, that's what I was looking for.

The $699 unit had a major price drop over a month ago. Check with dealers, they are all under $300 now, whether with model logo or crest, regardless of leather color.
