Please also always keep in mind that you'll see a difference in new and old leather on the passengers airbag, which is an seperate element. With vinyl this will be much worse.

I will take some photos tonight. I did not drive the Boxster today.

I have to remove the dash and bring the whole thing to the upholsterer. I was told it is about 8 hours to remove/re-install. There is a great (20+ page) writeup on here!
