Looks good, WHere am I going to put my change then?
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.

Knocked it out yesterday. Have no skills so had to find the right torx to get the two screws out and then took some time to pop out the first switch from old ashtray. Then the other three were easy. Got it all together done in 15 minutes. It looks soooo much better. Those of you who know what you're doing it will take you five minutes.
This was one of my first mods, too. A great upgrade IMHO. Did you also order the cigarette lighter plug with the no smoking sign on it?
It's 996.652.103.00 and like $5.
Thanks. I ended up buying one in this weekend right after I picked up my car. I was in Florida with a 11 hour drive home so I wanted to be sure i could charge my iPhone if needed.
I love the look! In saying that I'm a moron when it comes to projects like this. From the pictures I don't see where screws would go??? It looks completely seemless to me....am I missing something???
Regardless I'm buying one!
Great idea. While I was ordering the NS Shelf from Suncoast, I also ordered the "upper shelf" to replace that stupid CD holder. Just bought a 2003 Turbo with 21k miles. I see the charger thing is a Best Buy product. The things one can learn on Rennlist! Thanks
I bought a new rear center console so I could paint it Aluminum look. I was going to order the ashtray delete also, but after looking at these photos, I think the Aluminum look actually looks better with the ashtray. If anyone who has done the ashtray delete wants to sell their old ashtray module. please pm me. I've never done any serious painting so I'd rather have my old console (and ashtray) as a fall back.
Wow All of those look better then my ash tray delete. How did you get the black grommet thing off? It seems like it is glued on mine or something?? Below are before and after pics.
Guys, bumping this thread... any tips for unhooking the window switches (front) or blanks (rear)? I have the torx screws removed and have the ashtray up and out - want to install my new ashtray delete, and just want to make sure I don't bust anything.
Slide a flat screwdriver below the switch from underneath and bend inwards towards the switch. The bottom part of the switch will pop out and away, then the top should follow.
Clarification. Bend the screwdriver handle in towards the switch, the business flat end of the screwdriver away from the switch. It doesn't take that much force and it should pop out.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
