Does an MSRP exist for OEM parts?

[Silver911]

I need to buy a front bumper and side skirts (OEM) for a 2003 Cab. I shopped around and 5 different dealers have given me 5 different MSRPs. Does Porsche publish an MSRP for their parts or is it something that is set by each individual dealer? When the price varies by more than $1000 (bumper), I begin to question what I'm getting...

Yes Porsche publishes a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price list. But as the name says it is "suggested". Give me the part numbers they quoted you and I'll look them up on the September 2005 list (which has a bunch of increases).

Also, have you checked with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). I doubt you can beat their prices.

Loren - The front fender part number is 99650598006. I don't have the side skirt #.

996 505 980 06 G2X Front Embellisher MSRP: $1745.52

Do you need just one side skirt (if so which side) or the upgrade kit?

[Silver911]

I don't have the side skirts installed currently, so I need both sides. I'm guessing its what you referred to as the upgrade kit. Can you also tell me what the "lower front bumper spoiler" is and if it is included in your MSRP? Thanks.

No, you asked for just the GT3 bumper.

If you want the complete bumper kit it is: 000 044 802 28 G2X Front Spoiler set - MSRP $1745.52

The side skirt kit is: 000 044 802 15 Sill Cover set - MSRP $889.39

BTW... both of these come unpainted so you will need a body shop to paint to match your car.

Loren - Sorry, but I'm easily confused!! The complete kit is the same price as the bumper alone -- $1745.52?

According to the September 2005 US Retail Price List - Yes.

You have the right part numbers now give the folks at Sunset Imports a call - as I said before I'm sure they have much better prices.
