Ashtray Options - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I bought my first Porsche last week. It is a 2000 Boxster with 78K miles. I got it pretty cheap so I know I'm going to have to put some money into it. Anyway, the ashtray is broken to where it won't close and I'm looking to replace it. A new one from Porsche is $209. I found this one at Bumperplugs for $149. There's another one that looks like it just plugs the hole for $69. Are there any other options out there?

You can replace it with a storage compartment thing with no lid.

if you need a black one, let me know and I'll check if I can find the one I took out

I prefer the "non-smokers" tray, which is what you have pictured. Fits a cell phone or whatever very nicely.

Seems to be the best option I can find. I was hoping there was something out there that plugged into that hole that gave you a drink holder, which is something I really miss from my previous vehicles.

I've tried a few cupholder solutions and found that the Ultimate cupholder seems to work the best for me.

Ultimate Cupholder

Buy two and put 'em both on the passenger side.

Eagleday is probably your best bet if you want the non-smoker's insert. That's where I got mine.
