I would investigate if any other brand fits, like one from Volvo sure looks very similar to this Porsche one. All you need is same bolt pattern and core internal dimensions.

Agreed that $750 is a bit much, but thats the nature of having to piece it together via the parts counter, vs PAG/PCNA offering the friggen kit factory built as an option direct for the $300-400 that would be resonable for a donut and scissor jack.

Problem is that USA gets the lowest prices for new cars, so Porsche tries to save some money where it's possible

All other countries get some more options, but have to pay much more than you U.S. guys for a new car, so stop crying

This is the only spare you need:

This seems to say some other cars share the same spare-- http://www.vredestein.com/Banden_Ban...&BandtypeID=25

I've considered purchasing the spare kit through eBay and other sources, but never take my car out of town (as of yet), so not as concerned about it. Instead I found a Porsche jack kit and stuck it in the trunk to assist in the case that I need to use the sealant kit. As long as it's not a major slash, I should be fine.

Of course, now that I've said it, I need to knock on wood and keep my fingers crossed!

So have the parts all come in?

I'm assuming its the wheel, the styropor insert, jack, lug-bolt tool, a bag to put the spare in, and a bag to put the whole kit in in the frunk?

Suncoast, have you gotten a kit together? Please let us know.

Thanks!

I can sell the wheel, foam insert, jack, and tire cover. But I haven't been able to find a way to secure it. PM me if you need the individual parts.

Is there a central plate in that foam bit that provides an attachement point out the other side? What does it look like? Where in the back of the frunk would it attach to?

It looks like a boxster spare?
