Default Trunk detailing

Since this is my first winter with "my baby" and it's put away, I have been slowly cleaning it up cause it looked like the last owner never did.
I think that the seats and carpets are 2 shades lighter now!
Anyway, the carpeting in the trunk bothers me because it is dirty with what looks like grease stains and some sort of spill.
Has anyone here ever replaced that "carpeting"? It looks like a few molded pieces of "felt" like material and I could have a new looking trunk. I guess this is something that needs to be bought at Porsche directly.

New floor mats next and then painted bumper plugs!

Can't help with the trunk carpet issue, but if you get the bumper plugs from Eric, get the "door plug" at the same time. It covers up the silver key lock in the door. Look for the combo (bumper and door plugs) kit.

I'd post a WTB for the trunk carpet on the "Racing & Drivers Education Forum" . Some guys remove the carpet to reduce weight so you might have luck and get a used carpet from another Rennlister.

Just cover up the carpet with Amps and other stereo stuff, then through some home speakers, tower preferred, in the back seats with the top down and go around town blasting it loud (you already did a trial fit with the HDTV box I see)....oh wait, line the trunk with insulation and use it for ice to keep the beer cool while watching winter sports in the garage away from wife/girlfriend

Ahh J/K as you know. I have only heard people remove the carpet for weight reduction for the track,. But for street, I have not heard anyone replace it. Maybe just a good scrubbing will do it?

No affiliation, just happened to read your post, then noticed this.

Also, Griots makes an interior cleaner that works very well. No affiliation here either, just a good experience.

They had a couple of them, if they don't have what you need, another salvage place may. Good Luck!

You do know that you can raise and lower your top with the key in the door lock................good for operating the top without having to get in the car!
(which the door plug would render inoperative)

+1 for Bissel, I have The Little Green Machine. Folex works really great on carpet and with the Bissel.
