Where do I get this? I need this in my life!
Once you see the price tag you might change your mind. I assume these are the Porsche insanely expensive Mamba Green plastic parts. I have not seen them in Mamba Green from any other source.

$120 for a tiny bit of plastic IS that bad in my book. And that’s only for 1 key fob. Not sure what you’re talking about with the Porsche App. Am I missing the joke?
You bought a Porsche and the $120 is what crosses the line? Really? How about all of the crazy expensive options that come standard on other cars? When it comes to P-Cars, I just close my eyes, hold my nose, surrender my wallet and succumb to my hedonistic tendencies.

And yes, it connects to the app as well as the car connects to the app. And I’m always gravely serious.

One of the reasons I can buy a Porsche is because I’m not dumb enough to pay $120 for a few bits of plastic. I’ll wait and pay $10 for it when some other company supplies what I want. If you are fine with paying that much then feel free.

Well, you don’t know me but maybe I am as dumb as you think I am.

I worded that too harshly. I just don’t believe that I’ll get the value out of the spend. If you think you will then great.

No worries. I can assure you that there are very few things in life I take seriously, and key fobs —and even Porsches for that matter — are not one of them.

And those who never question their own intelligence are exactly those who should!

Maybe, it’s the closest I’ve ever seen on a computer display. Someone with a mamba car should order them and let us know. I’d be interested for when my mamba arrives.
This one is from Amazon and was something like $13.00 when I ordered it a couple months back. I ordered two and used all 3 green pieces on one fob and only the 2 side green pieces on the other, so I can tell the two key fobs apart.

Under fluorescent light, the color is a shade darker than the actual color of the car. I'm okay with it though for the cost. I saw the ones at aliexpress, but didn't want to wait a month for shipping as Amazon was the next day. Since your Mamba Green hasn't arrived yet, the shipping time might not be an issue and they are less than half the cost at aliexpress - might be worth s shot.

Not bad at all for the price. They look similar to the ones on AliExpress if not identical. Do you mind posting links to the ones you bought?

The price has gone up a bit since I purchased them, but I think it's the typical Amazon pricing where they temporarily raise the price of an item as the inventory gets low.

I agree with you though, it's probably all made by the same manufacturer.

Here is the link:
