Default Non-smoker kit in carbon fiber?

Can anyone point me to a source for a carbon fiber non-smoker kit? My car came with a carbon fiber console and I'd like to replace the (carbon) ashtray with a matching tray.

My dealer says Porsche does not offer the kit in carbon (at least in the U.S) and BumperPlugs does not make one.

Thanks, Andy

I've asked Eric to look into making one. Have you let him know you are interested? I think if enough people are interested, they will make one.

Hi Eric,

Do you make a carbon fiber non-smoker tray (986/996) that would match
the OEM CF center console?

Thanks, Andy


No, we avoid those parts because it's impossible to do unless we have the actual console for 3 weeks.

You can have most any of the plastic parts done in carbon fiber. By private shops. Its very tedeous and requires much time , labor and special equipment. But it is possible and I have had a lot of my parts done.
I tell everybody it would be cheaper, easier and faster to have it all gold plated.
