Remove the CD holder and replace with a cubby?

[N227RV]

I have a CD holder in the front console of my 2004 Boxster. It holds four CDs, each in their own little shelf that slides in and out. I don't play CDs so would like to pull that little storage item out and replace it with a cubby. I think the correct name for a cubby is "shelf." It's not a big deal either way, and I don't want to do it if it is more trouble than it is worth.

I see that there is a Porsche part that might work: "Shelf instead of radio on front center console in Satin Black for Porsche 986 and 996 - Porsche (996-552-253-01-01C)" Has anyone actually pulled their CD holder out and replaced it with a "shelf?"

It looks like a good tug on the CD holder will snap it out. Is that so? Another tricky part seems to me to be getting the right "shelf". There are two "shelves" available and the lower one is slightly less wide and tapered toward the bottom. It would not fit.

Any words of wisdom from someone who did this would be welcome. Happy New Year!
