1997-2000 was supposed to come with the clip-on vent cupholders.
Porsche pulled them from the 1997s. In the 1998 owners manual a slip of paper was put in stating that they were being redesigned and Porsche would contact owners and give them the new design.
Back then you could not buy this style in the US. Had to get them from Germany. I had a friend in Germany get me one.
Porsche never contacted anyone. The clip-on style was never redesigned. What happened instead is that Porsche ended up selling them in the US as a part. So what was intended to be a standard item in the car you had to buy. No wonder that company makes so much money.
Then the second gereration style in the pictures came out. I call this the pop-out style. For 2001 up Porsche eliminated the holes in the vents so you could no longer use the clip-on style.
Then in 2003 (2002 for the 996) Porsche came out with the pivot-out style.
