    Default Sourcing replacement Light Panel

    My boss asked me to help him source a new tail light panel for his 1995 porsche carrera's center reflector. Any suggestions on where to look? Most I'm finding seem to be in the $400-$500 range for a little piece of plastic.....

    Looks like this.....

    LOL. I knew parts weren't cheap, I just didn't realize it was a bend over and grab your ankles situation. He's pissed because he put the trailer hitch on his expedition right through the light panel. Car is mint otherwise.

    Expedition and a Porsche? Tell him to man up and buy it. Part of owning a Porsche is cost of parts. That's why we have had lots off customers at TDR that trade down from their Porsche to a Miata because they are so much more affordable than the Porsche to maintain, upgrade and operate.

    Rogue and Nexus Flux are exempt as a 914 is more like a sporty VW.
