Default Center Console Ashtray Options???

To me, the ashtray/cig. lighter is pretty much useless. And I don;t have nitrous, so I don't need switches in that place. What I need is space! Is there ANYONE out there that makes a large plastic cavity to replace the stock ashtray/lighter set up? I'm dieing to put one in!!! Please help!!!

Only things I have seen in that space are a satellite radio, heated seats, or nitrous install. Another storage area would be a good idea.
