Pretty straight forward to do. The one in the trunk is especially easy (just 5 or 6 clips which pop open and you can easily pull/insert the filter)
The one actually in the cabin underneath the footwell of passenger side is a bit trickier. Its in a very tight space and there are 3 plastic screws holding the foam cover in place. The 3 screws must be removed in order for the filter cover to fully open. It also takes a bit of an angle approach to remove and insert the filter. Make sure to pay attention to the air flow orientation (see pics)
I wrote with a sharpie the date in which it was changed as a reminder for future replacement
good idea on writing the date. i just changed my filters a couple weeks ago too and keep track of it in an excel chart, but i do like the idea of writing it on the actual piece. gonna have to do that next time
having trouble finding replacement air filter for the frunk. i asked a private shop that specialists in Porsches and they also said there isn't one to replace. can you share a link to where you purchased this part? many thanks!
Recently did both of these with filters from FCP Euro. Super simple and took less than 5 minutes for the one under the frunk and maybe 5-10 minutes for the one in the cabin. No need to pay anyone to do this.
