Best place to find a single one is eBay. I've got matched sets of four that I refinish and do core exchanges but for sets only.
Make sure you get the correct one......there are two different types - "skinny" shield with recessed black letters or "fat" shield with raised gold letters.

That is a good question.....I'm not sure. I thought the ones with the fatter inner Stuttgart horse shield and the raised gold letters were genuine and the ones with the skinny inner shield with recessed black letters were knock offs. Not sure what led me to that conclusion, but since there are no part numbers on these things, they both seem to be authentic Porsche items. Maybe just from different eras?
Bottom line is that if you're looking for a replacement, make sure it matches the other three!
