Default Ash tray mod
Guys. I don't smoke and even when I did I never used the ashtray for ciggie butts. Does anyone have any good ideas for a mod that could be done to this area.

Either Keep the ashtray door closed, or use the area for a switch for Nitrous, or mild to wild.
Some people have used the area for a remote radar display, if the display is less than 3" in width.

That's where I keep the remote for my Exhaust Commander - plus my insurance verification form. The Exhaust Commander works from one of the visor buttons but I also have a remote for demonstration purposes while standing at the back of the car.
