Can I add a glove compartment to my 2000?

I'm wondering if I can add a glove compartment to my 2000 Boxster by adding the parts from a 2003 or later model? Are they compatible? Or are the dashboards completely different?

I would say ...
YES by installing a MJ2003 DASH + new air ducts for the right side vent.
YES pretty much
YES slightly

This thread contains some good information on this topic.

I've thought about doing this. I first asked myself how badly I wanted a glove box. My answer was not badly enough.

Great thread, I used it to learn a lot about the process of doing it on my 2000 S also.
I also did not want one that badly lol..

Ha, thanks everyone but too much work for a glove compartment. There is a 2003 at the pick a part so I thought I could just grab the lower right part of the dash but nope….
Thanks for the link.

It’s definitely a project best done if you were taking it out anyway to replace a heater core or fix the blend doors. In my case it was the latter and the recirc servo.
