I see you are a newbie. Please do your homework and get a grip. New replacements are on sale for $20.

Brown was never a stock color.

Many people still want original. I have not found a repro that is identical to an original. The originals turn brown due to age, sun and wear. It can be polished and buffed back to black but many people like patina. The guys on early911sregistry will pay $150 all day long for an orig knob in great condition.

I agree with Mark. The brown is caused by sweat, sun, and nicotine build up. Remember when everyone smoked? They do in fact polish out and the patina just adds to the authenticity. A new Porsche oem knob is running about $225-$250 plus tax. We have also had good condition knobs go for more than $150 on this forum; $200 IIRC.
