You can also get a fully painted center console, with that kit, from www.bumperplugs.com. I have one in my Turbo, same color as my exterior...

Good luck.

Joe,
As I have mentioned before I think your car looks awsome! I just installed Sport Seats from a GT3RS Leather and Alcantara in my car today. How do you keep your interior so clean?
You could do surjury in there.

Doug

Porsche ownership. It is a sickness.

So its just a hole there instead of the ashtray? Is that really something that I should worry about?

The lid of the ashtray is famous for breaking. Since I wanted my center console painted, I went ahead and ordered it with the non-smoker's package.

some people relate holes in cars to options not ordered =P

i dont understand why people have such a stigma towards ashtrays, its pretty much just a hole with a lid on it. i put my keys in it when i park my car in the garage

That's what I thought before I replaced my ashtray. You can actually fit things in the bin that won't fit in the ashtray, such as a cellular phone. Anything much bigger than a key won't fit in the ashtray, so it's pretty much useless.
