EJ, you may want to rethink using your ashtray for coin storage. During some spirited driving the first couple of months of ownership I was unable to shift into a gear because change had moved from the inside of the ash tray to inside the gear shift mechanism under the boot.

Freaked me out and I felt really foolish when my tech popped off the leather boot and took some needle nose pliers and pulled out a couple of pennies, a nickel and a dime or two and said, "ash trays are for ashes, not spare change. That'll be $100 for a minimum labor charge." (Fortunately he was kidding, and I thanked him and told him to keep the change!!!!)

OP: I have that non smoker tray in now and LOVE IT! Great place to set stuff I need to keep handy.
I had my center console off recently to do some wiring, and there was a quarter sitting right in front of (or behind, I can't remember) the shifter. It was not there last time I had the cover off. Not sure where it came from!

Steve
