I hope I am posting this in the right forum. We have a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo. Our anniversary is coming up and I want to buy my husband something fun. Any clue if these would fit our car? I need to be sure before buying them. Otherwise I am hooped.

Any thoughts on these?
I am also going to buy him a Porsche Design wallet and a caliper keyring. Would you be happy with these gifts, as a guy?

Sure, I'd be happy with the parts. Car parts are second way to a man's heart. Food of course being the 1st way.
Wallet sounds nice.
If you can, slip a $50 or $100 or higher gift card in it from the local Porsche dealer that your husband can use for a nice jacket, or some other nice accessory or even some service. If he doesn't already get the mag give him a gift subscripton to Excellence. (IIRC www.excellence-mag.com.)
If not a Porsche dealership gift card, then a gift card from a local gas station for a tank or two of gas and a note he fill up the tank and take car for a nice drive.
While he's out driving around you can treat yourself to a visit to a local spa or take in a flower show.
Sincerely,
Macster.

Those may or may not fit because it looks like there based out a third-party vendor on E-bay. I would be a little cautious... Try this link instead they are one of the best stores online in the country, so I have been told. Really good prices on everything

P.S. I already ordered some tire valve caps for my car the ones for $16.49 for a set of 4.
Good Luck!

Thanks you guys!!!
So, those stem caps should be cool then. I first have to sneak in the garage and make sure the car doesn't already HAVE them. I don't think it does but I need to make sure.
Elliot, you are hilarious. LOL! I would love to buy him some turbos but I have a feeling they will be above my budget. haha
Macster, you are awesome! I love your ideas! Thank you so much for taking the time to type that out. I totally love the gift card idea in the wallet! Also, that magazine looks awesome! Is it all Porsche? I got him a Road and Track subscription a few months ago but I think this mag looks even more cool!

Airrik, thank you for that link! Fabulous! I will check it out. I hope they would ship to Canada though. Dumb question I know but each tire needs ONE stem cap, right? *blush*

GT Porsche and 911 & Porsche World focus on all Porsche cars -- stock, custom, street, track at various times -- and even the occasional Cayenne and even Porsche tractor.
Total 911 focuses on just the 911 models, all years, all flavors.
Other mags I like (all UK published) are Evo, Top Gear, and Car. These cover all cars including Porsches once in a while.
Just to show you I'm not overly fixated on car mags to the exclusion of other reading, I also like Barrons financial newspaper (published every week by same company that published Wall Street Journal).
Sincerely,
Macster.

Sunshine,
Yes! bingo, ha ha LOL each tire needs its own tire valve. Hmm... Not sure if they ship to Canada you might want to call them and speak to the service or shipping dept first and see. Hopefully they will.
Keep us posted,
Airrik

In Canada, you should just pop by your dealer since they have plenty of Tequipment caps in stock. The shipping, duty and brokerage on these might cost you more than the caps themselves. If you're in TO, both Pfaff and Downtown Porsche have a pretty good selection of accessories. The wallet is a good idea and the key ring is nice too, but make sure you remove the "made in China" sticker off it (I'm not kidding...unfortunately).

These will fit as they are the shorter version! The longer version with a longer collar will however not fit if your husband has metal valves or the shorter version rubber valves.

But here goes: Excellence and Total 911. The other two Porsche mags are very good but cover all Porsche models. Excellence does this too so you have that aspect covered while Total 911 just covers the 911 model, all years, air cooled to water cooled.
If you wanted a Porsche specific choice and a general car mag choice then it would be Excellence and Evo.

Macster.
