Depending on how much I hack up the interior, the door can stay. The key is getting the USB hardwire to go straight down, so I figure a 5/16" hole drilled into the base will work. I'm still toying with the idea of pulling the door and making a color-matched bezel that still has a power port in it.

When I installed seat heaters in my `03 AE vert, I needed a place to put the switches. So, I pulled the ashtray, then designed a 3D printed switch plate that would fit into its place.
Here's a couple of pics of the switch plate installed and pulled out of the ashtray hole.
I've since repainted it from black to shale using match paint I bought online.

Mine is a good switch panel. Not sure where I'm going to move it all to when I do a Double D triple gauge double din center bezel.
