Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

folks
I have a comfort car with half cage and buckets etc.
I am over 6ft and would like to remove the lower centre console (with the storage bin and CD holders) as having driven an RS recently its far more roomy for the legs etc.
has anyone done this?
is it a big job?
can it be changed back when done?
it looks like you need some additional carpet and a blanking plate for the end of the console with the window switches.
Pelican parts have a good kit which has the right colour carpet and parts etc. £150 shipped to uk. sound about right?
many thanks, Nick
You need the GT3 console and a trim that comes in front of the shifter.
It's an easy DIY and completely reversible.
Just make sure that the trim is the black one from the 996 and not the dark grey one from the early Boxsters.
got some very useful off 911 UK for other to reference:
part number for black:
98655211302A10
see diagram below, part number 1 which should include parts 2 and 3. Also confirmed by below link.

yeah no worries. ordered part 1 and 5
£130 from the OPC. let me know if you need a contact
that's a bit of a saving over getting it from the US plus you have somewhere to return to in the UK.
Bit of a thread resurrection - has anyone had a go at making one of these eg producing a fibreglass buck similar to the injection moulded original carcass, to then mould them? They are going to be carpet covered anyway so wouldnt need to be mm perfect.
At £400+ now for the OEM part I’m surprised someone hasnt created a 3D printed version.
There are some really useful images in that link to understand the shape / form of the piece.
I’d probably make one out of ply / pine to get the outline shape then make a fibreglass mould from it.
Now just need to source some matching grey carpet!

Is it really £400+ now?!
I bought one about 2 years ago from my local OPC (Colchester) with all the parts for about £160 all in...
Welcome to the world of Porsche price gouging...
I've decided to 3D print one.
I plan to cover it in the 4 way stretch carpet van converters use. I'll just use black for my savanahahaha car.
If anyone else is interested and wants one, I'll put pics up here.
