I bought Weather Tech mats front and rear at the advice of the Porsche dealer. Very happy with them fit and finish very nice. They protect more of the carpet than the OEM I was told. My rear Porsche mat was already installed. I don't like it as it is slippery and everything slides around on it. I prefer the Weather Tech I have in my Jeep. I've tried to scrub the rear mat to remove the slipperiness but did not improve much.

The US market does not include the triangles. I picked up a VW one that fits perfectly, at half the cost of a Porsche-labeled one.

I have all the mats, Porsche OEM carpet and rubber, and Weathertechs. The Weathertech for the back are great, bear in mind there are two different versions; with or without 4 zone AC (the center console bumps out more toward the rear for the 4 zone controls). The Weathertech ones for the front are great for keeping everything off the carpet, but at the expense of overlapping the door entry sill (and partially obscuring the model plate). Some may not like that look (I don't). So I only use that mat when it's really going to be sloppy out. The rest of the time I use the OEM style.

Nice looking CD. It looks suspiciously like one I looked at from a private party in Seattle, but since I needed to do a trade, couldn't work it out. He had completed the fix and collected the money and was basically flipping the vehicle.
Did you check to see if you'll be able to get any fix $$ for this one? I'd be curious to see if it went from Seattle to PA.

On the key, my wife lost one of ours and I inquired all around on getting a inexpensive replacement or finding one on ebay or a wrecking yard one. I was told that they can't be reprogramed so we bought a new one at Porsche. NOT CHEAP! I would check around before I spent any money on a used one just to be sure. If you do make the leap let us know how it works, who knows maybe my dealer was just trying to make a buck.
By the way, the price on the window sticker is a steal, I would have bought it for that.

Welcome!
I'm a month ahead of you so I can answer the easy ones
1) Me too, I'm not sure where all these second keys are going but I need one too.
2) Don't know as I live in California so we don't get real weather
3a) Yes that's where the warning triangle went, you can get cheap ones off eBay but they tend to be too long to fit in the specific slot, Porsche ones are around $70-80.
3b) That's where the Porsche fix-a-flat bottle was, mine was missing too, you can get them from the dealer or eBay.
Enjoy

I was nervous to jinx it by saying anything before, but I just uploaded the signed, notarized claim acceptance. Apparently the previous owner was just too busy to file the paperwork, and that's what the Infiniti dealer I bought it from gets for not trying to obtain the second key and refusing to honor the USAA discount! - I'm sure Porsche would have told them about the claim had they spent any time prepping it for resale.
I was happy with the purchase price up front.. Now that I'm in the CD for under $40k, I'm beside myself. Time to treat her to some window tint, some winter wheels, floor mats (Thanks Kirill!), and first oil change this weekend! My car detailer friend is chomping at the bit to get his hands (and polish) on the beautiful paint - He loves doing German cars, because (in his words) they polish up like nothing else..
