Default Where do U store things?

Tried putting my Cell Phone, Billfold, Sun glasses behind the 8" display. Whew! Door got stuck on "open" command. Next I took out the center divider for the cup holder and the space is great for Billfold, Phone, Money clip. BUT I want a cup holder. Advise please !!

There is a nice storage slot right down to your left in the drivers door. Try it. You'll like it.

I got a proclip mount for my phone, it works great. I don't carry a wallet so I don't have that issue. I just travel light in the vette.

I guess I travel light. Sunglasses in case on driver's side door slot, wallet behind screen, cell phone and charging cord in the center console. Owners manual and registration in the glove box. That's about it. Marina and I will stuff a jacket and hat behind the seats and that is about it. Anything else needs to go in the trunk of our convertible.

I'm still a working stiff so I swap out between a few vehicles regularly. Truck, Van, Flatbed, Vette, or sometimes my wifes truck.
2 cell phones, IPad, wallet, money clip, checkbook, sunglasses, extra pair of scrip spectacles, cleaning cloth, small binoculars, flashlight, Benchmade Barrage if not a Protech TR-4, Glock 26 in a waist holster , two additional 15 round magazines in a pouch, business cards, nail clippers, Leatherman multi tool, bottle of water, sometimes a camera, and a couple of other miscellaneous items.

My Glock 43 stores perfectly in the center console. After purchasing a Corvette I have no money so a billfold isn't a problem.

Driver door pocket gets some use for the wallet and the cup holder is now a phone holder. Keep my shades in a case in the glove box and the center console really doesn't get anything. That's about it for us.

I got one of these that I stick in between my passenger seat and the center console. It's good for my phone and my wallet.

Isn't that the truth!

I put my sunglasses behind my screen, my wallet in the center console, and my water bottle in the cupholder. I don't have anything else other than my laptop bag when driving to/from work which goes on my passenger seat.

I have a leather route storage bag for the back of the console and a leather passenger storage bag for the side of the console.

Comes in several colors and several vendors on the Forum have them.

(BTW, the flash makes the colors look weird)
