Leather door panel sniped

[RandallNeighbour]

I snagged a driver's side leather door panel off fleabay for $75 just now.

Now I need you people to help me find a passenger side black leather panel for cheap and the dash too. I just might upgrade to a dash with a glove box in it.

Anyone know what year they started with the glove box and if that will fit in my car?

The Glovebox was introduced on the '03 MY, but you have to add the new passenger side airbag too if it doesn't already come with the new dash.

Come on Randall, just pull the dash. It's not that hard! It's easier to cover the dash with leather than it is the door panels.

Quite the deal you got on eBay. Check Oklahoma Foreign. They usually have some but certainly not for $75.

when I bought my boxster from my dad - it had an option code on the paperwork stating it has a "full leather interior". both dad and I believe that means the seats, doors and dash are all leather trimmed...

having not looked at tons of other boxsters - do some NOT have leather dashes...is it all hard plastic, vinyl, or somethign else?

i'm just curious as to whether my dash and door liners are truly leather based on the option...

good luck finding your other door skin!

who needs a glovebox! i just keep my registration and other docs in teh front trunk.

Where do you stash your gun?

Oh, wait, you're in Kalifornia, you're not allowed to have one (in your car).

23109VC,

The full leather interior package in the Boxster includes the all surfaces on the seats, dash, dash pod, door panels, sides of the upper console, the covered lid of the rear console and the roll bar padding. If you also have the Sport Touring Pkg, you will also have a color matched shift boot and parking brake handle. There are of course lots of additional leather covered items that could have been ordered beyond the full leather package, like the extended leather package.

For instance the basic Boxster red interior color was only avaliable in full leather. If it's red then is covered in leather or it's carpet. There are some exceptions to this, as I've seen some pieces that seem to be covered in red soft touch paint.



I quick way to determine from photos if a Boxster has the full leather package is the door panels have visible stitching.

Full leather


Non leather


Randall the door panel in your photo doesn't seem to have the stitching, so unless I'm missing something (quite possible ), it does not appear to be leather. You may want the seller to confirm that is actually covered in leather before they send it.
