Anyone got the part number for this impact bar?(2003-2004) I've got to pull the dash at some point to at least re-stretch the leather, and I'd like to go ahead and do this swap instead? Also,anyone know if I can keep my slanted switches around the center stack when I update the dash itself? I like the slanted look, it is very "boxster", and since I'll likely go to a 996 cluster with the dash swap, I'd prefer to retain some vestige of the car's origins evident in the dash look. Plus my center stack surround pieces that hold the slanted switches are covered in matching leather... And will I need to replumb some of the AC vents, or is this only to update the center stack? Thanks all.
