New to the Boxster S... now some interior questions!
So far I'm in love with my Boxster, but can't help noticing the door panels and other bits and pieces that can be turned into factory leather. So I know a majority of the 996 interior is swappable with the 986 interior, but what should I watch out for? Are they the same a pillars, b pillars, etc.
And these little emoji smilies destroy what we have usable on Rennlist :dance:

AFAIK the doors and a-pillars are identical between the 996 and 986
The b-pillars are not, as the Boxster doesn't have any

Door cards in the 996 / 996 are nearly but not quite identical. 996 has a few bits of fancier trim. Would imagine they are interchangeable.

Thanks guy! I figured it was all the same but I am a newbie to this whole Boxster thing :ah:
Also if there are any great sites for Boxster that sell interior mods, etc, that'd be great to know too.
feelyx: I'll work on it :dance:

Just the site I need! Hoping I see some full leather parts on eBay soon. Thank you! 
If anyone has some neat interior pictures from factory, let me see them! I search as best as I can.
