I'm not at my car right now, but I believe it's behind the lower carpeted panel in the front trunk. There are two plastic pins that hold the panel in and they're not easy to undo. And I think you're going to be underwhelmed when you do see the kit. Better get a magnifying glass. It's one of a few sad features in a car of this price.

Rail, did you lose the manual that came with your brand new Porsche? I'm willing to bet you that the location of the toolkit is plainly described within that wonderful and elusive book!
If you can't find it, look on the top of your toilet tank. That's where I keep mine for library reading.

Thanks Randall, I know I can always count on you for your help. I did pull out the owners manual, however, I had a piece of carpet hanging down in front of the "Giant Toothbrush Holder" so I guess I missed it. Thanks for the help guys.

Well, since you're on the subject of missing tools and things....I cannot find the wheel lock key for my 01 Boxster, so should I see if the dealership can get me another one or would it be easier and cheaper to just cut those off and replace with a new set?
Thanks,
Denash01

Sup bud,
It's in the front trunk, behind the carpet liner, below the air compressor. It's located at the very bottom though, so you have to pull the plastic shield full-forward to get to it. It's in a black plastic case that looks like an over-sized travel toothbrush holder. Don't get too pumped though, I don't think you could repair a bicycle, let alone a car, with the contents of the kit.
