What can I do with the storage spaces under my radio?
 

Hello All-

I purchased my '97 Boxtser with only 60,000 miles about a month ago and have done a bit of work since I got it (new tires, new front brakes, chrome sill plates, spider decals along each side and a new stereo).

I would love to see what some of you have done with the 2 empty storage spaces under the single din stereo. I was thinking of cup holders, or mounting a GPS, or anything that would look good and be functional to fill up that area. I'm not looking to relocate my climate controls and/or stereo, just something relatively easy that could spruce up the look of that space.

Thanks in advance!

Just leave it. Less is better in a car like this.
You will only de-value your car. put your wallet in it and or your phone.
Just drive it and appreciate it for what it is.

There is a GT3 console delete part that lets you remove the bins and gives big guys like me knee room. It's an ideal place to mount a GPS.

you could install a oil pressure and oil temp combo there (2 separate instruments side by side)

I have the cupholders and CD trays that I don't use. I want to swap them out for storage or something cosmetic. willing to trade

Thanks for all the ideas...

Tmbcn3, I would be interested in the cup holders. How can we talk about it?

I'm interested in un-deleting mine if anybody is looking to get rid of those pieces.

Eventually, I'd like to move the climate control down.

Subwoofer!

Mine's covered with a piece of real leather now, but this is the original finished picture with vinyl: here

That's where I mounted my flux capacitor.

I don't think I have the capability of generating the needed 1.21 jigawatts of power to run that thing!

that's why you have the other compartment.
so you could fit the micro static mini nuclear plant.

Mr. Fusion is more economical and environmentally friendly.

JMHO

So I've been thinking about solving my own problem... 10 days of tinkering and researching and, in my humble opinion, I came up with a cool idea!!!

Yes I love my car, but now I feel like the technology is a bit more "updated". I love the way it makes the interior feel and the fit is perfect. I did have to do some research and just a bit of fabrication to make it happen. If anyone is interested in what I did, just let me know.

Looks great!
next step is hard wiring it in so that you dont have to use the cigerette lighter!

agreed... thanks

Looks great...what part of NJ are you from?

South Jersey... Cherry Hill

You?

I replaced the bins with the GT3 delete as I needed more knee room. No regrets. :D
