I had to replace the shifter console plate so while I had it off I deleted the ash tray/lighter option and made some storage space for my cell phone , sunglasses or what ever. I cut out the mounts for the ash tray and lighter and mounted a little box I made out of plexiglass and covered with vinyl. I also stripped the door and polished it.
I really like this idea. The box looks great as well. Did you need to strip the cover though? It looks great but I would hve prefered the original (black?) color.
Never have been a smoker so the ash tray and lighter were useless to me. The cover was pitted and needed repainted and while I was cleaning it up and sanding the paint off one thing led to another and I ended up polishing it. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it like that or not but once I had had it mounted in the car I liked it.It sort of accents the console and the chrome power window switches.
