Turbo timer and the cup holder sounds good but I am gonna put in the multimedia card reader and some USB ports (4?) and may be a firewire port (if I get a MAC).
A DVD drive is a must.

Wow... I need more money. Gotta wait abit longer.

For now... custom back lit compass beside the pass seat warmer. (my best navigation for the time)

i use it for coins.. it would be easier if it were nice and smooth so you can slide them out.. even tried taking off the fake chrome stuff. no avail. but yeah i just pull it out whenever i need some coinage.

Why don't you do what i did and "mod" it into a really great coin collector?????

If you need instructions let me know.

A very common problem with this mod is that coins get stuck and jam the ash tray so you can't get the ****** open. The only way to really get it open is to disassemble the dash.

oh seriously???? i actually don't keep coins in it that often...i was kinda kidding.... i usually keep change in that other little compartment by the e-brake, i swear i was told it was made to hold credit cards? but i don't see why you'd lay your credit cards out in the open like that......

the worse thing happened to me though with my armrest, i had thrown some change in there at one point..... and i had it in the up position bc i had my dog in the back and for some reason that day he was being annoying and trying to get in front which he normally never does, and he put his paw up on it and the lid opened, welll.... a penny managed to slip down into the hinge so when i put it put it back down and closed it, the penny broke the hinge and i had to pay to get a new top put on the armrest.....

thank god the dog is cute, or he would have been in major trouble

That happend to me a few times but with a quarter (cuz im rich) and i almost broke the hinge. I didnt get all aggressive with it and break it like you though... I had to finess that piece and ease the big money out carefuly. Moral of story... Dont put change in your armrest... Especially if you are loaded like me and carry the big coins.[&:]

Oh and way to insinuate animal abuse... I think Im going to call the humanes society....
