Recently had to purchase an obsolete, no longer available, insignificant but authentic Porsche part for the 912e...Wow! big time sticker shock!
Just give thanks that we're not driving the 'real thing'
Here's a hilarious and outrageous example for your amusement...The Samba#1696456
I don't know what they're smoking in San Louis Obispo, but it must be high powerful delusional stuff.

Well, you know what they say. If you can afford to drive the real thing...
The P-car owners I know refer to it as "porschesploitation". An example I saw recently posted on the Boxster site was a door latch part with a VW part number was 20 something dollars. The identical part with a Porsche part number was just shy of $300. If your gonna play, your gonna pay.
Carl didn't provide a direct link, but I had to look. $2500 for headlight covers@!!!!

And THIS is why I will almost certainly never own a Porsche.
Buy the repros for 1/25th of the price and be done with it.
