Call me OCD, but I really wish the trunk area of my 993 looked more like my 997. Does anyone know of a molded trunk carpet kit? Or any suggestions on a mold-able plastic that could be used to make one?

I sometimes think the trunk carpet looks like schlumpy bull****, but then i realize that i don't give a bleep, and therefore move on.

to be useful...i've never seen what you're looking for.

I like the velour option in the older cars, looks more finished. Don't know if this is/was available for the 993

Quad, I never think about it until I open the trunk, and then it always bugs me that it just looks like a pile of carpet. Maybe I'll just go with an RS style option, for less coverage.

You could go to a carpet and upholstery shop and have it custom fitted as a last resort.

And then when you go to sell the car, potential buyers will ding you for not having the original carpet set in the frunk...

I don't think you will ever get to the fit and finish of a 997. Best bet is a stiff foam backing or carpet reinforced with fiber glass and resin. Personally I think you would find the trunk space would significantly decrease.

i have thought this also and considered maybe a balsa or similar
glued or velcro-ed to the back of the carpet, just to tighten it up.

Yes. It was offered. I have that in my cab. The color matches closely to the color of the carpet.

Quad,

Pics are on my PC at home. I'm up at Moosehead Lake Maine snowmobiling for a week.

This is the highly optioned silver over cedar green cab.

I was thinking of something with more of a hard mold, like the newer cars.

having had a 997 and the 993, the 993 trunk definitely lacks the fit and finish of the 997 trunk, but they are also structured rather differently. The 997 trunk has the plastic compartments and doors, which give it more straight lines, and then the 'well' for the trunk. The 993 takes the earlier approach of simply covering what's there in an effort to maximize space, possibly? it definitely looks a bit slapdash, but i agree it only tends to bug you when you open the frunk. i'm sure you could build a structure that would give a cleaner look, but you'd also cut into your allowable room. i guess the easiest thing would be to add a 'flat' back panel that went up at a certain angle and then flattened out to cover the back section. it still won't look like the 997, but it will have straighter lines and more form.
