Post Something to replace the ashtray
I would like to remove the ashtray and use that console area for something else.

What sort of ideas do you all have? I'm thinkng GPS, Radar Dector, etc. I'm curious as to what other owners have used that spot for.

Thanks,
Greg

I've seen pictures of air/fuel ratio meters installed in that space. I need my ashtray, however...

It's a good place to store condoms and a crack pipe...or so I've heard.

It must be Friday - I'm loopy!

Marion Barry- 1989 Yugo "sport"

Ex-Mrs. Marion Barry- 2002 Cadillac!

I could also ditch the clock and there would be a fair amount of room for something in the clock/ashtray area.

I was thinking about a remote fuel pressure gauge coupled with a fuel/air meter.

A radar detector, air/fuel gauge, electrical fuel pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, transmission temperature gauge, vacuum gauge, or intake air temperature gauge are all possibilities. Personally I think a boost gauge would be a nice addition down there. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />
