Default Replace Ashtray

I would ask Eric at www.bumperplugs.com (rennlist sponsor, good guy).
He sells them for the 996 (I bought one, painted Lapis Blue to match OEM painted center console), so he might know.

If not, ask Sunset Imports (Porsche parts at cost + 15%); if it's a Porsche part, they'll get it.

Unfortunately Porsche has not released a non-smoker option for the 997/987 rear console....yet.

We've been asking for over a year....nothing yet though.

Also--I found out the coupes are the cars with the little bin aft of the console lid; cabriolets have nothing aft of the console lid. Suspect Porsche figured that an open bin in a cabriolet would quickly shed its contents in the wind.

Has a non-smoker alternative arrived on the market?

What have y'all done to make better use of the ashtray space?
