WTB: Front Centre Console (horseshoe) - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I am looking for the "horseshoe" shaped radio surround. I have found some online but are near the $300 range after shipping . Does anyone know where I can get one for a lot less then that? I have a 2001 boxster and am looking to retro fit the single cupholder under the front air vents. If anyone can help me with that that would be great

coolbreeze,

Is this the part you need?

Silver Radio Surround Trim:Porsche Parts & Porsche Accessories - Wholesale Porsche Parts & Tequipment - Cayman Panamera Cayenn

If so, I saw a couple on eBay for a lot less ($50 - $60). I believe they were finished in silver, but probably can be easily repainted.

That is exactly what I am looking for. What word did you use to search for them? I tried many variations and haven't found anything resembling the horseshoe.

I searched using "Boxster dash". I saw the one in the link below, which I see now isn't a "Buy It Now" item, so good luck with it. I also saw another one that was either starting at $59, or maybe buy it now for $59, but I can't find it now.

Best of luck,

The ebay search engine seems picky. I may start bidding on this item tonight. Thanks for all your help!
