Porsche rear reflector question, Why are they so expensive? Am I missing something? Options

[ericoneal]

Its just a plastic reflector, why do these cost hundreds of dollars? Is it because they say "PORSCHE"?

Yes, that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But even the "Porsche" is not enough to explain it. The after market "Porsche" does not get as much love ($$) as the original 911 factory reflector that had to be cut down to the little brother 914 size, which brings ($$$).

I think that supply and demand also explains it. But not sufficiently, IMHO. And this question could be asked of most Porsche parts.

I have one that is a 911 cut down and one that was made for 914 (after market). The obvious difference besides the cut edge is the one made for the 914 has a black border on all 4 sides - the cut down ones do not have it (because it was cut).
