Is this for your unused console buttons? If so, my answer and opinion to your question is to leave them as they are. I have four unused on the GT4 and I would never make any changes like that. That's just me, however.

Leaving them alone allows them to mostly blend into the bezel surround as they should. For my tastes adding something like the decal you linked to creates a cluttered look - it kind of cheapens the console (and the car) imo. Also, could be confusing when using a quick glance to activate something or another and they would also look bad if not perfectly straight. Another thought is that If they don't come off easily, you could mar the dummy button's surface.

The empty button slots just don't look right to me. So, I ordered these stickers. Each sticker size is 0.625" by 0.50". Whether I use a few or not depends upon their aesthetics overall quality.

Definitely for unused buttons…maybe use one or two, provided they visually appear OEM. That’s the only way they will be used.

You're lucky, the ejector seat is only spec'd for the Boxster. The Cayman is not pre-wired for this feature. :cry:

No fair! The original ejection seat was on a DB5 coupe in "Goldfinger." Why the discrimination against us hardtop owners? Does Martin Baker know about this?
