I'm happy with all the mods I've done. Glass window top, HID headlights, 3 spoke wheel, B&M short shifter, M030 sways, Koni FSD, S muffler, LNE spin on adaptor w/ filter mag and the S oil cooler to help the motor live. The one that is my favorite is the 18" carrera light wheels with MPSS tires, don't even have to drive, they really make the car IMHO.

You must be referring to the coin holder

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.

I did the ash tray delete right away when I bought the car. I must have found $5 in change stuck inside the center console.

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.

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.

Same here, I keep change in the ashtray and I don't seem to be losing any change
Are you guys doing Dukes of Hazard jumps with your cars?

my favorite mod...
Same one as mentioned by Tom Stone (post # 50)... as this improves greatly the feeling and handling of the car, following a second place would be the LSD.

I just put quarters in it too. For meters. What the heck do you need pennies and nickels for?
So are you saying that quarters are large enough and won't bounce out?
