Default 5th Gen Console Ash Trickery

This is a goofy question.. I noticed the ash tray is lit up from a green bulb behind it in the console.. Has anyone done any trickery with the light.. I dont need the ashtray.. i dont smoke..

well..you could put a VAFC in there, if you've got a dremel and some patience. you could make a sunglasses cubby with some ABS plastic and felt.. hmm...how about a change bank..you know, those ones with the quarter|dime|nickel slots mounted in there.. anythin's possible. i was thinking about doing one of those myself.

I took my ash tray out, so the light would match my windshield squirters

I like the VAFC idea

well.. fashionable lights = ricey..in my opinion.
this is a stretch..but if you're into the matrix, you could put a few mirrors in there with tiled japanese text in columns.. that plus green light would look cool.

I would use the area for a VTEC controller, boost controller, or turbo timer.

Fields VC, Greddy Profec, or Blitz SBC or DSBC would fit perfect in there.

You know when you're walking through the mall, minding your own business, or talking on your cell phone, and one of the guys at those booths says "hey!, hey man, want a free phone, we got a deal going on right now" that's a kiosk
