I'm a non smoker, and I would love to get rid of the ashtray.
Are there any ashtray delete packages somewhere - either just changing it to a little tray or getting rid of it completely?
Eric at BumperPlugs.com has both painted and non-painted versions of them. The link below shows a painted version.

You want the non-smokers package which consists of a small oddsment tray, a rubber insert and two torx screws. The entire pkg is about 45.00 at your local porsche dealer. Dont forget to purchase the plug for the cigarette lighter which is about 10.00.
It takes about 15 minutes or less to install.
Jim - I take it that you did this mod to your car? If so, you could have saved yourself $45.00 and had a solid clear bra installed over your rear center console. They could have sealed the opening of the ash tray that way.
I know this is a stale thread, but I'd really be interested to see how the mod came out. The bumperplug product just looks a little less attractive than the flush nature of the ashtray with cover. Does the Porsche OEM non-smokers package look better?

I assume the plug for the cigarette lighter is a blank plug in place of the actual cigaretter lighter (which I will never use)? Does the Porsche dealer have this?
