Look pretty cool! A little pricey right now, but they sure would look nice!

 

For the life of me I cannot see how these can be more than twice the cost of the clears, which also includes the third brake light. Insane. I hope they come with some Vaseline for the poor Buyer getting bent over on the price.

 

I generally like Suncoast but they seem to be opportunistic price gougers.

I was pricing hitches for the 958 and Suncaost sells a "cheaper than OEM" version for about $1000. OE is around $1500-$1700 depending on dealer...only to find out Suncoast's hitch is actually a really inexpensive version (I think it's made by Curt and retails for under $200). 5x mark-up? Yeah, they gouge. Buyer beware.

 

My apologies, I really do not mean to highjack this thread. However, the towing kit listed on our site for $1000 is a genuine Porsche product. We are sourcing this directly from Porsche, so I am not sure where the "cheaper than OEM", or the kit being manufactured by Curt came from..

Just wanted to clarify that we are not trying to take advantage of anyone in the Porsche community.

Let us know and we will be happy to answer any questions.

 

I think the gouging is coming from Porsche, not Suncoast. Most of the dealers take cost and add a fixed mark up to the part.

I bought clears, and had my body shop paint them with a tinted automotive clear coat. They've done the same with red tails as well to darken them. No need to pay through the nose for the "RS" version.

 

They still shine bright!

 

Seriously guys? If you don' t like the price, just move on. No need to lambast the guy, because the price is not as cheap as you would like it.

 

 

My local dealer (Warrington, PA) had a look at the Suncoast site and couldn't believe it was OEM at the sale price...hence his theory it was Curt or some other aftermarket. For some reason he also could tell me there were none available..go figure...I doubt the accuracy of their parts guy for sure.

I bought he Curt and saved at least $800 plus it was free shipping.

 

I asked the dealer in Atlanta (when I purchased) to quote me prices on a few OE upgrades. His prices were considerably higher than Suncoast. When I mentioned it, I was told Suncoast is known as the lowest cost dealer for OE parts. I bought the car but not the accessory items priced at full retail. I agree these prices seem asinine, but it's P and not Suncoast.

 

imahobo..probably explains why my dealer assumed the Suncoast item was aftermarket and not OE.

 

That price is ridiculous whether from Porsche or Suncoast.

 

You guys realize that the RS tail lights are only about $200 more per set than the stock reds? I'd go for the RS if I could sell my reds for a decent price.

 

I had nothing but the best experience when buying from Suncoat, great prices and a very large inventory. those guys are the great.

 

I think those RS Tails look great.
However, I don't see the point, if you can't get darker reflectors to match them.
