I checked my go-to place and they have it for $148.97.

I'm guessing it was used across different models because first aid kits and warning triangles are/were required by German law and had to meet a certain spec.

When closed, the cooler lid can be used for additional storage.

Suggestion
If I'm putting something potentially really messy in there like used oil or whatever, I use a generic $5 plastic tub to suit as per a previous poster, in this case the reduced space of an imperfectly fitting tub doesn't matter..

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Finally Porsche decided to bring out a luggage compartment for the 996 .
http://www.classicshop.porsche.com/p...g04400010.html
I will most definitely get this as I have / had always such an accessory in all my cars and was in fact waiting for Porsche to bring this out for the 996 as its been available for the 997 from the start
For a 718 the Rubbermaid cooler fits very well at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can keep your food cool or warm. When closed, the cooler lid can be used for additional storage.
Are those hand grips on either side towards the front?
They might be useful as a tote.
If you are going to do a concours or PCA event, at least I do, I usually bring the same items for detailing and refreshments.
Maybe the Christmas Gift list item of the year.
Ok, ok, I'll open myself up here. I carry my coffee (in a thermos) in my frunk. (Risk getting coffee on my stereo or interior carpets? What kind of Porsche owner would I be?) What if I forget about it when a smart-aleck in a VIP-stanced civic forgets his place on the highway and tries to pass me? Now I've got coffee smell in my frunk carpet. Now I've got this little rubbermaid tote to soak it all up.
I agree, they will probably sell a thousand or more. Good cash grab for them. That probably cost them less than $20 USD to make. Dont really see it as that use full but it does seam similar to the Key pouches as far as need.
I checked my go-to place and they have it for $148.97.
Even though I never carry anything in the frunk that has the potential for a mess, I would probably buy one if it was in the $60 - $80 range. In the unlikely event I needed something like it, I would just use a generic container.
Suncoast has this for $155. There are a few instances where this would've been nice when I still daily drove my 996.

Indeed . My only consolation I get a 20% discount on all Porsche parts �.. I hardly ever use the trunk for storage but have ordered it. will post some pics when it arrives
Imagine caring about what someone wants to buy for their car. It's a nice piece that is 20 years late but a good idea none the less. It does seem a bit pricey but I could see myself putting used oil from the year when I drop my car off for inspection or any liquids for that matter. If you have ever had oil or milk spill or any liquid for that matter you know how difficult it is to clean up.
You can purchase a Sterilite 1687 bin from Target , I have a similar one that fits almost perfectly for $15.00 .... $185.00 for the Porsche one is crazy ... Must cost a whole $3.00 to make ...

A note on cost guys... yes sure there is a porsche tax involved, but remember the project cost versus the unit cost! There may well be only some beer money in actual material, but injection moulding setup is hell expensive! Dies of that size would cost tens of thousands of dollars to produce. A generic plastic tub is produced by the millions of units, if the design/dies/setup cost $50k and you produce a million plastic tubs that's $0.05 fixed cost per unit, plus say the $1-5 of actual material. Porsche might sell what... 1000 of these? In the previous example that's $50 per unit. Add logistics, distribution network costs, yada yada yada.... then add only a wafer thin 100% Porsche profit and it's pretty easy to get to a hundred plus dollars. The cargo liner for my Audi A4 Avant was a not too dissimilar price and would sell in much larger numbers than this, so really... not so bad. Just a shame they didn't have it years ago.
Regarding the actual product, I think it's generally a good idea for a daily driven car but likely takes away a little much needed cargo space. If I'm putting something potentially really messy in there like used oil or whatever, I use a generic $5 plastic tub to suit as per a previous poster, in this case the reduced space of an imperfectly fitting tub doesn't matter.. Day to day I usually have a plastic tarpaulin in the bottom which can catch any minor spills from leaky groceries and the like. One of the coolest things about this car is that it will take a 50lt beer keg straight into the frunk. I'd assume the Germans would have made sure this still fits!
"is that it will take a 50lt beer keg straight into the frunk"
I use mine to replenish my 40 gallon propane tanks for the gas grill and portable generator. It is amazing how much the frunk holds.
I'll end up buying one after I redo the interior LEDs with higher K bulbs and refinishing the trim. These types of additions can be ignored for a while but eventually I'll come around to getting one.
I have the same one in my car. I'm guessing it was used across different models because first aid kits and warning triangles are/were required by German law and had to meet a certain spec.
The the white/green international first aid symbol has a 996 part # though (996.701.170.00).
It's referred to as a sticker but it's actually plastic with a velcro backing.
Yes, the bin comes with a thin black strip with double sided tape which I presume tapes to the underside of the bin for additional support.
I happen to have that strip unused with the adhesive still ready to peel and mount if someone needs it.
Seems like a great idea if you need to occasionally haul a dismembered corpse in the frunk. Hope they eventually release one for the C4...
Also, I believe this comment is necro-thread appropriate.
I will sometimes take the car to pick up gas in a couple 5 gallon tanks for yard equipment. I put down a large contractor garbage bag first. This would likely be better, but I have a C4, sooo....
Isn't the only difference that the differential is in the frunk where the spare sits on the C2? Should be enough room in the frunk on a c4 since the spare is laying flat under the carpet liner. Maybe the depth is shallower because of this? Anyone car to measure their c2?
