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"?

I don't like the aftermarket ones. Mostly because they are very obviously not factory. The red reflective surface is a lighter color red, the script is slightly different, the depth is different, the reflective texture is different and then there's the black border that was never done on any reflector from the factory.

I have an OG one that was properly cut to size and already installed on my red car (sold) by one of the PO. I removed it to keep before selling, entertaining installing it on my next secondary 914 since I obviously can't install it on the LE. I always like the look of it, but now I'm more accustomed to it without. Probably because the contrasting colors on the LE. I'm a keep it for another 914 that I will be able to customize since I can't on my LE. if not, I also kept it to sell separately since they are very valuable for original ones. However right now, it hangs on my garage wall undee my original 914 chrome luggage rack, which also makes for a nice garage art.

AA has the aftermarket ones, but I don't care for them personally. And even those are nice coin, so if you want one I would find a bargain original one. they look much better, and if you're like me, you want everything OG, even if it didn't come from the factory that way.
