Thanks everyone! I appreciate the recommendations. I'm thinking ******************************** for like $12 + S&H sounds great.

Buy some more stuff, since shipping is free if your order is more than $50.

There are 2 filters for the car, one a plain paper filter, the other an activated charcoal filter which costs a lot more.

Unless you're wearing the hardtop consistently, or driving more with the top up than down, the activated charcoal filter is not really any better than the plain paper one, except when it comes to separating you from your money.

And you can use either one for a lot longer than Porsche suggests. Pop it out, vacuum it and reinstall.

I searched all over for cabin filters for my other vehicles and found A to Z auto lights to be the cheapest...I bought a few of each to save on shipping.
