Very nice top! If you don't mind me asking, how much was it to get the '03 top? (less than having the top re-done with glass?)

thanks!

Same here Chuck. Many mods done, but they fall into different categories. Cosmetic mods, functional mods, power mods, handling mods. Each has their own special place.

I'd have to say the most satisfying mod so far was the intake system mod. It was a very time consuming and not an easy mod that paid me back with a very nice gain in performance. I could tell right of the bat this was a great mod. I've installed NHP 200 Cells Exhaust Headers, secondary cat delete pipes and a Borla muffler. While it sounds great, but I don't feel the gain I got from the intake system upgrade mod.

After winter is over I will be putting on my Koni FSD shock and new 1" lower springs and rebuilding the suspension with new wheels and tires. So that one may take the top spot.

You should not keep coins in the ash tray. When the ash tray is closed the coins can bounce out of the tray and get under the center console, a few people have had coins get into the shifter and cause problems.

Unfortunately, I don't think the ashtray delete is offered in graphite grey, they have two kinds of black, granite grey and metal grey. I have do a custom color match since my center console is Arctic Silver. You can still find the ashtray delete for around $50, I paid $35 + $10 for the rubber mat less than a year ago, but since I am painting it I bought the cheapest version. Searching by part number always seems to yield the best prices for me, so you might have better luck that way. :cheers:

Is just the center console Arctic Silver or does it go up into the radio/climate control area also?

Wow. Just two days ago, I decided to put a dozen quarters in the ash tray in my new (to me) Boxster. Thought it was a great idea.

1) Isn't there some way to seal it up so that the coins won't bounce out?

2) Is there an aftermarket pop in replacement that would serve as a good coin holder?

3) What is "ash tray delete"?

Works fine for me, but I just put quarters in it.
