Default Dealer Trinkets

So you spend alot of money on a Porsche...what trinkets did you receive?

I opted for the Carbo Tech Keyring, which is limited in production to 1,500.
One thing nice is that it does not swing forward into the leather under the ignition switch, and create a half moon as did the keyring for my 996 did.

Isn't the key big enough? I keep it unchained because it sticks out in my pocket if it were on my key chain. I wish they'd go with a folding key, or even a fob key like Mercedes, especially since the ignition is 100% electronic now.

But that's a very nice fob, have you seen the matching key holder?

I agree, I liked my Audi TT "switchblade" key...

I have the GT key ring and I'm sure its good for at least 5hp measured by seat of pants dyno. BTW, put some loctite in the screws or you will end up losing them - ask me how I know ...

You got a Carbo Tech Keyring?? Sweet!

All I got was a stupid car cover... and it looks completely ridiculous attached to the key.

Shoot, my dealer drilled (well, he actually used 3/8" self tapping screws) two new "Turbo Exhaust" holes for me under my license plate! (Photos to follow!)

Beat that!
