Put a small chip in my rear tail light last week while removing the rear bumper cover. Dropped it on the carpet but it still chipped. Porsche wants $1223 for a new one!
Yikes! Any suggestions for a cheaper source? It's a 2011 GT3.

Who is 'Porsche' in this case? Local dealer?
Have you tried any of the big shops like Suncoast or Sunset for a comparable price? I'll definitely make a note to myself not to drop one of those suckers too...that's a bummer!

There's gotta be cheaper floating around on Ebay.

Guess I'll keep my extra red one in storage
Porsche seems to have raised prices on a bunch of items...check pricing on a 996 gt3 bumper cover....it's crazy

Talk about Porsche tax!
Same thing in the Ferrari world too, heck who am I kidding Lamborghini too. Hell a Clutch for a Forty year old Urraco cost something like $4000. They know they have you by the Huevos. And let's face it, it didn't cost even within 10 times that amount to make that clutch, and more than likely resides in some other car of the era but they're not going to tell me that. No way in hell that car is that bespoke!
