Great ingenuity Mike, looks good and easy/cheap to make and install.

I love the 2001 and under radio/vent surrounds as you mount all the radio stuff to it first with total access all around and then screw it back into the dash as a unit.

Makes for really easy fitting of non-standard stuff.

I'm thinking of doing the same for mine. I made my own radio shelf bracket out of aluminum and sprayed it black but I think raising it up a bit more by using some plexi or lexan will make it look even better.

I'll bet you could get Boxster or Porsche engraved right in the plastic too if you wanted to get fancy.

You could use edge-lit plexi to make a LED Lighted surround where the text "Boxster" shines through and hook it up to the ignition switched power. (Black paint on the back side of course)
