I use a small screwdriver (along the insides) to help free up the real and dummy switches when I've replaced mine in the past.

Maybe I'm being to careful, but how the heck do you install the ash tray delete? I can't pull the wiring from the ash tray, or the window buttons. Do they just pull apart, or is there a special way to do it?
I use a small screwdriver (along the insides) to help free up the real and dummy switches when I've replaced mine in the past. They can be a bit stubborn but they will eventually come out.
Here are the directions
(with pictures) from when I did my Boxster nearly 10 years ago!
How did the paint come out? I was contemplating buyin the bumperplugs as it is painted and I can get the Carrera GT Silver to match my console but damn $150 is a bit steep
Miami,
Eric at Bumperplugs is a Rennlist Site Sponsor and a really greay guy (I met him when I lived in Charlotte) with excellent products and excellent service. There is a lot of prep invilves with getting the part ready for paint and making sure the paint will adhear to the plastic properly.
I know i already bought a few items from Eric and will be picking up a Denison along with a few other goodies from him in near future. I am just trying to decide if to give painting a factory ashtray delete a shot myself or just bite the bullet and get it already painted.
If you have a factory painted console I would definitely recommend going with Eric as you are more likely to get an exact match. As I painted my console and non-smoker tray at the same time doing the paint match was not a problem. However matching paints, especially metallics, is a real art and I wouldn't want to try that myself. Plus, by the time you buy the parts and the paint and pay for shipping you're probably 2/3 or more of the way there already - another reason to go the pre-painted route.
I. Got it from bumper plug guy, it's great looking, although I didn't get it painted yet, I do need my entire console painted because my st bernard scratched it up. I also got the bumper plugs and keyhole plug, which you could technically make yourself, but you might as well support someone in the community.
