Get it from Suncoast. Also make sure you get the upper or lower. They are NOT interchangeable.

thats a great price FOR THE SELLER!!!!!!!

The list price for the upper shelf is $37.63 (996.552.253.01) and $37.97 for the lower shelf (996.552.243.01).
You can get them in leather, but even those are less than this price. Seems like everybody thinks that Ebay prices are lower than list, but often times they are not. I buy alot of stuff on ebay, and have gotten some fantastic deals, but you have to be carefull!! I once asked a seller why he was asking for more than retail pricing on a Porsche part and his response was "ain't America a great place!"

Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware!!!)

I will get a dozen from Suncoast and I will sell them on Ebay for $50 and make me a nice profit. I knew that was too much $$.

A couple of years ago I bought a parts list program from Suncoast, off their website, and I think i paid about $10. Then when I bought my manuals on CD, they came with the interactive PET program CDs. So I looked on Ebay and saw that most of the parts program CDs were being listed for $30+, so I put mine on with a minimum bid of $15.00, ended up selling if for $28. I joked with my wife and others that I should just buy 10,000 copies and sell them each for a $20 profit, The only problem is you need 10,000 suckers!!

In any case there are some real good deals on Ebay. I bought a brand new Dual Mass Flywheel, still in the original box for $100. Saw it on ebay and put in the minimum bid on a whim and got it. It sat in my office for 2+ years, but then when I did my clutch I needed on and had it at an amazing price.

I bought my cubbie at Park Place for $40 and sold that worthless cd holder for $65 on fleabay. It's been the biggest financial win I've had in my 911

Go with Suncoast. I bought mine there not too long ago and it was cheaper. Plus you know you are getting a quality product from a reputable retailer. +1 for Suncoast
