I know this topic has been discussed many times but did anyone actually have this recall performed on their 97 or 98 Boxster back in the day? Porsche to Recall Air Bag Deactivation Device for Child Seat System -- re> RENO, Nev., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- - When I was shopping for a Boxster I never came across any 97 or 98's with this modification - The dealer would install a MODIFIED AIR BAG DEACTIVATION KIT

I may have a 3rd Party install an on and off switch - I already got the request approved by NHTSA http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/Air+Bags/ON-OFF+Switch+Requests

I was just wondering if I should ask Porsche if they still perform the modification. I am aware I will likely have to pay out of pocket since the car is more than 10 years old.
