Help w/ center console

I have a broken center console locking lid/door the henge's where broken off. I checked with the local Porsche dealer and the replacement lid is $365. I haven't been able to locate a replacement lid except for a CF lid/door, even more expensive. Can anyone provide me with a cheaper source? Thank you in advance

The hinge kit should be around $20, easy fix for the broken hinge.

Or....you can order a painted rear console from us and be done with it, and look better too!
