997 GT3 front lips - suncoast increase?

hey guys,

just wondering if you guys noticed the price increase at suncoast. yesterday i ordered a new front lip for my car (stupid curb got in my way ) when i ordered it last night.. the price was $189.95 each. now there asking $249.95 which is the same price as the RS lip. i was lucky enough to order 2 of them yesterday at the lower price. but, my point is.. how often and how high is porsche gonna raise these prices? i remember it was not so long ago when these front spoilers were only $150.

997LIP Front Spoiler Lip - Aerokit or GT3 2 $189.95 $379.90
model: 99750598392

There's been a significant price increase in all things european at the moment, I'm saddened that the car/accessories market is impacted as well. Things for P-cars were expensive enough as it is!

I bought one locally in July and it was 140.00 I wonder if its a supply demand thing, thinking that the demand is high since the car is so low.

I think is a Dollar vs Euro thing more than supply/demand...

Yea as long as our damn dollar keeps going down the price will keep going up.

I remember these were about $80 wholesale. With crazy part prices like this it really implies that the cars are "disposable" as who'd want to deal with this once the warranty runs out and you're on the hook for some major or even minor repair? IMO, P keeps the prices of the cars lower to maintain market share but they're trying to make it up with "gotcha" prices.
