I'm following this with a lot of interest, thanks for following through with this and posting updates with pics!

The 996/986 style ashtray delete has more forgiving curves, probably would have been easier to try that first.

I've been thinking about this a little more, and decided I would like a window switch plate in place of the ashtray. This is how it's done on the 996, and it's very easy and natural, I never even have to look at/for the switches to use them.

Looks like the phone tray has garnered some interest, but a phone tray is not going to work for me (I have the iPhone 4 with a large protective case that is basically the entire size of the ashtray plate), and it's already convenient enough to place it in the armrest compartment (which is a safer location all around).

I'd be interested in one, but you need to have a slot for the plug-in to the bottom USB port (that is how I access music to my head unit).

GREAT idea though.

I would maybe think about making a Armrest holder instead of maybe the ashtray that could hold the phone. That way you have plenty of room for a plug.

Yes. Decent idea.

2 reasons why I didn'y (yet).

1) I am thinking that the armrest (towards the rear) would be a place for a cup holder so that shifting wouldn't be affected

2) The pieces of mold material i have right now are not big enough. I will order some bigger, I just haven't gotten around to it for a project that I am just goofing around with.

Any idea of pricing on this piece yet?

How about other pieces, anything else in the works?

I'm interested in plain black to match the interior, and only if it's big enough to fit an iPhone 4 with a bumper or small case installed.

To lart and co -> You don't know what my gauges are for... heh. Anyway, it's electric fuel pressure and A&F. I don't plan on watching A&F all the time, it's only for troubleshooting. With a-tune installed, and no MBC, I will just peak it at, record it with my phone, or ask a co-pilot to read me #s if curious. Just didn't want to rice up the interior too much.

If you don't want to "rice up" your interior, the last thing you need to see is fuel pressure, and main things you need to see are "A&F" and boost...ack.

If you do this that would be Boss. Either a complete delete of the armrest and just a holder for the phone there or something to go into the armrest storage place.

The 968 armrest deletes are awesome already... I have one in my 951 and in the N/A before I sold it

I understand now it was hard to picture someone monitoring a/f ratio with a gauge placed next to the buttocks

Fuel Pressure is to help diagnose a cold weather no-start issue, and being alone, it helps to have it in the cabin. I have my own thread, so PM if you want to discuss it, or post there. Car is away till end of the year though. =(

I would also be interested in one in black that looks similar to the surrounding plastic.

This is a great idea. I recently did mine in billet to get a phone/change tray designed. You can only go so wide aft-to-front as the inner armrest frame screws get in the way. Also I drilled a 1/16" hole in it for the factory accessory light to shine thru.
