I'm doing this project right now on my '97 boxster. The original setup had the 6 cd holder on the bottom, which was completely useless to me
I stipped the center console out
relocated the A/C to the bottom
And since the top opening is now 2 1/2 din tall, I bought a cup holder from a Jetta to fit under the stereo
Ready for a 2 din head unit to go in, but I'm still deciding what I want to get
