I previously lost an aero side skirt jackpoint cover on the right side of my '06 CTT and had to buy a new one from ECS [I think -- it might have been one of the other parts suppliers). I seem to recall it was ~$85-100 piece. I looked on eBay for a long time and never found a used one. New pieces will come unpainted, but I had very good success with rattle can products from AutomotiveTouchup using their primer, factory color matched paint, and corresponding clear coat (I used the easy/cheaper single stage). With some sanding, painting, sanding, painting, wet sanding, painting, more wet sanding, and a polish it looked factory new. You can do it in a weekend, and waiting for paint to dry takes the most time. The piece is relatively small and gets dirty easily, so minor imperfections in the paint finish will not be noticeable. Also you can touch up the rock chips on the rockers with the paint you buy to for the cover piece -- spray a small amount of paint in a paper cup and use a tooth pick or small brush to dab paint in the chips. Total cost is <$150 and some time. Good luck.

Yes I have. I have purchased it from Germany. It was 95 EUR + 15 EUR shipping. Brand new Genuine Porsche part, ready for paint. Everything done month ago or so and it is on the car.

I'll grab a few from the JY next time I'm over there. Probably will need painted to match your car of course. I imagine they are dirt cheap from a JY anyway 5-10.

If they are, I would love to make a donation to your treasury- only thing in junkyards near me are pickup trucks (Oklahoma)

Yes sir. 17 s+h, and $88 ea. Pricey lil' bastard. It was missing one when I bought it and now I know why. I thought I would check fitment on the other one and when I got back from a drive it was gone too. $200 in two days of ownership! Sounds about right.... needless to say they wont fall off again and I don't jack there anyhow unless it's on the side of the road which is extremely rare for me.
Now if I could just afford those wheel arch extensions! I refuse to pay $11-1200 for some plastic bits.
