A tool roll was part of the trunk accessories for the NK 2000, just as it was for the 2002. I've never seen an original kit and many owners I know are not even aware that the roll existed. Undoubtably these items vanished quickly from the cars, falling prey to both sticky hands and absent-minded loss.
Naturally I wanted one.
It didn't take long to discover that Coupe King in California, the same folks who located the ultra-rare 9-prong turn signal relay for my car, reproduces and sells the vinyl roll. I ascertained as well that the tools themselves are available on Ebay. The proper individual Heyco tools sell for prices from mild to wild and I chose the cheapest offers. I didn't quite buy everything that the kit contained; the tubular wrench seemed like something I'd never use.
1) The original roll; the tubular wrench and warning triangle seemed like unnecessary expenses
2) My version
3) Tucked away neatly in the trunk; yes, I have to get rid of the old factory-installed foam that the jack lays on
