mikesz....my Boxster is a 2001 S. patssle....you have the "deviating" carpet option that was available for model year 2000 cars but for unexplainable reasons, was not available for 2001 cars coming to the U.S.. As you said, the black carpeting really sets off the "boxster red" leather! I wish that I could have gotten it when I ordered my car in 2001
