What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

+1 on the ashtray delete. Expensive plastic bit, but I hate ashtrays.

Was my wife's first request after we got the car. That ashtray, and the area under the console was nasty.

Repurposed the ashtray light to provide light to my cubby by drilling a hole in it and just poking the bulb through.

Ashtray delete is one of the best and easy upgrades. Even though the piece is expensive it's still worth it.

I wonder if I could get one of these LED's in blue or white, not a fan of installing mine when it's yellow. Anyone know the led "type/name"?

Sorry, no help here. It's a tiny little bulb.

I had the ashtray delete for a few days, then sold it. I didn't like the aesthetics of the large hole and preferred the look of the console with the ashtray and closed lid.

The light is a bulb, but you can use any 3-5mm led with a 180 or 220ohm 1/4 watt resistor on either leg.
I used blue to match the rest of my interior backlights.

I use the ashtray to store my garage door opener. It just fits inside. Nobody ever smoked in my car, so the ashtray is clean. With the lid closed, it's hidden until I need it.

The issue I'd have with the ashtray delete is it's an open tray, so anything in it would look like "clutter." And I'm way too OCD to allow for clutter in my Boxster. LOL!

I have done the same thing. My garage door opener fits perfectly

Hey, what could be easier? One post said 10mins. Just pull off the grill, then pull out the snorkle. The two youtubes skip the process of pulling out the grill. Good choice. Really tough. Finally clawed mine out, after snapping one clip. Then 'Just pull out the snorkle'. Again, full on wrestling match. Finally gripped the tube with 2 long handled pliers and popped it out. Pretty scraped up knuckles for my trouble. Just drove the car out for lunch. I think I hear a difference but wouldn't swear to it.
