I have taken out the cigarette lighter and in that small part, I keep quarters. In the large 'ash tray' part, I usually toss my cel phone so it doesn't fly off the passenger's seat.

The front ashtray is used for coins, ther rear ashtray(back of console) I turned into a light, since I have a convertible this addition has done wonders for backseat illumination when the top is up.

Its wired into the rearview mirror/underdash lights so it comes on when the door is opened or when the dash switch is turned to the dome light position.Its a rear cargo area lamp assembly I picked up at a boneyard, I cut some plastic out of an old underdash cover to fill the opening the ashtray left, then cut a piece out of that to fit the light into. The result looks factory.

Hey you have my radio! Not many people do lol

I use my ashtray for... let's see:

Coins
Timeslips
Interior screws that came off my car but I can't find where
Dome light bulb (I have red neons in my car wired to the interior lights so I pulled it)
Ashes (Even though no-one smokes in my car... )

I pulled my rear ashtray to put a cigarrette lighter recepticle for my Playstation.

LOL that is cool! How much did yours cost *just wonderin what it retails for*? I got it very lightly used for 100 bucks from a guy at my work.... Does yours kinda have problems with the buttons? mine works fine, but works a lot easier with the remote, so i primarily use it...

well no one is allowed to smoke anything in my car which really tends to **** people off. I removed the asstray and lighter so as not to temp people. I fill it now with quarters though. And who ever said it adds up is right. I got like 30 bucks outta there. Lol also I keep my cell phone lodged between the console and e-brake. I thought I was the only one that was that ghetto. I could always buy one of those type-r cell phone holders but I would then have to cut off my nuts with a rusty nail clipper..........

good luck on the rusty nail clipper.....

I dont think Ive even opened mine? Ive heard 1 too many storys of the spring breaking and then you cant shut it. If it was for anything, it would be a recesed gauge pod or for switches.

I have the fan and lock up switches in there. I also have room for the line lock if I ever get around to putting it in. Very clean and you'd never know anything was there with it closed.

I know, where else are you gonna put them roaches.
[Not that I would endorse drug use but throw em out the window. less evidence when you cross 4 lanes backwards.]



But no really, I put my shrimp tails in the ash tray.
