Default 996 Cup Holder
Does anyone know for this Boxster Cup Holder fits on the 996? In the description of the site has only mention Boxster but not 996. Thanks!

"Boxster No-Spill Console Cup Holder"

The design of your cup holder is good for water bottle with cap. I mean I don't want to put a opened can of drink beside my pants, that's just my thought. But thanks anyways!

I'm just wondering if the "Boxster No-Spill Console Cup Holder" fits on the 996.

That cupholder can be 'mounted' on the passenger side as well, I believe. That way the open water is next to your passenger's pants instead!

I'll call them tomorrow to find out. I mean it's better to put drinks right next to my arms. Thanks!

Please let us know if it fits. I like this idea too.

Wouldn't you knock into the cups when shifting to second?

Looks like a good way to break the lid off!

Yes as a matter of fact I do not think this will fit the Boxster. I have the exact same cup holder in my 996. It also makes my car faster!
