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

De-snorkeled my new 2 me 2000 Boxster 2.7

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.
