The dash on my 2000 has a structural aluminum bar that runs the width of the car. I don't know how they clear the bar with the glove compartment on the '03/'04. Maybe it's a different bar or gone altogether.
I never looked at a 01-04 closely. I always assumed that they were pretty much the same as a 97-00 (unlike 987). I think I'll be keeping my dash cause its good, black (goes with any thing) and I swore I'd never take it out again the last time I did (grin)
