I think that you can look at the registry, find a car with a carbon fiber rear center console, and use the VIN from that car to order a replacement center console.

I've never tried this myself.

any one of the optional center consoles or any other options can be ordered from any PORSCHE store.

Some of the special ones ie" leather special color" do take a long time to get

Order it from Sunset. They usually have the best price and service has always been great with them.

If you are interested in adding the storage bin lid in CF, Eric at BumperPlugs has it.

Sure thing, my local dealer is:

Porsche of Chattanooga
7648 Lee Highway
Chattanooga, TN 37421
(423) 424-0500

As an example, the GT3RS steering wheel.

Suncoast = $859.00

Chattanooga Porsche = $494.29

Looks like Suncoast is reasonable on some parts, while other parts have a huge markup.

As Joe S. stated above, Sunset Imports (Porsche Dealer) in Oregon sells parts at cost +15%.

fwiw-A few months back I priced carbon fiber console & dash & door trim as I got my 3 pre-owned & missed ordering some nice touches.
Can't seem to find the paper work. Off hand, Sunset was much cheaper for the console by appx. $1-1500.over one of our local dealers if my feeble mind serves me. Trouble was delivery, in months. Perhaps that's now changed.
Merry Xmas

That is a pretty high priced, limited demand item so I would imagine that they probably do not have this in stock at Sunset. Getting it from Germany would take some time, but it would be worth the wait to get a decent discount.
