Real Deal? (carbon Fiber)

Saw these on e-bay today. Looks like the real stuff, what do you guys think? If so this seems like a pretty good deal.

It is definetly not an OEM carbon fiber piece, the description states,"Porsche factory center console piece that has been processed with carbon fiber." An OEM piece is take and then later processed with carbon fiber(aftermarket). So, it most likely won't match the OEM carbon pieces.

Yep, that is pretty much what I thought too...

It looks like somebody already snagged the console anyway. If it was anybody from the board, let us know how it works out for you.

Thanks....

I think that soemone like MattLA should chime in here and share his vast experience regarding how all the different CF makers compare to "OEM".

As long as it is real Carbon Fiber

It seems like a deal to me. For 1000 you can have all of those pieces? I think they would still look great.

If you read the auction he cleary says they are not factory parts "This is an original Porsche factory center console piece that has been processed with carbon fiber. The end result is a piece that dealers charge $1,500.00 for."

That is the real deal. The difference in pattern is the difference between 2001 and 2002. That is a great deal.
