Saw this on the 993 forum, but it is for GT3 RS's!

I'm embarassed to say I have one. It's actually quite cool.

That said, I felt like a douche paying $75 for it.

Porsche marketing at its best. Notice that for some reason they offset the ring on the strap, instead of centering it? I'm sure there's a story behind that too.

This has now solved a part of the math as to why the GT3RS's are more expensive than the vanilla GT3's, - it's those darn expensive door pulls!

I got this one at Home Depot discount Porch parts and like deer nuts, it was under a buck.... Seriously, these are handy for keeping track of spare keys, I made a rack of hooks and hang them from the carabiners

Heck, REI for the webbing or order on line, you could recreate the porsche one for almost no cost, that is nuts. I would like to see what costs so much on the actual pull (like $500 each I think). The webbing cost about $0.33 a foot retail. Total materials for the key chain retail are like $1 maybe half of that wholesale, doh!

I wonder how much the replacement door pull costs from the Porsche AG parts system?
