Addtional coin holder mod
I really don't keep much change in the car so I use the stock coin holder for other items...pack of gum, chapstick, etc....you know things that tend to melt/soften in the center console. I have a few coin holders that I acquired from past vehicles that fit perfect. What do you think?

ohhh, hahahah thats pretty obvious. my bad... from the pic i couldnt tell that it had such a big 'divot' at the bottom carved out, and didn't look that deep.
sweet man, i like it. besides the fact that i never use change in my car, that could come in handy

The part number for the one I used (on left) was on the back of it.

If you noticed I moved the interior dim switch to the outside where the blank spot used to be and put one holder in its place. Since I have a second coin holder I could do the same with the DSC. Only reason I didn't is the coin holders are different. When I track down a matching one for either I will order it and install them side by side. I'm going to stop by some dealerships this week and give then the part number on the back of the one I used.
Will keep everyone posted........this will probably be one of our cheapest mods ever.

Since so many seem interested I went out to the garage and repeatedly deposited and removed change from the coin holder to see how many times I made contact with the DCS button.....quite a few. I decided to move the DSC to the far right and put the blank space in it's origianl location so I won't accidently hit the DSC button when fishing for change. I think this will be the best arrangement.

My JDM actually comes with this coin holder.
I've taken it out to fix in another switch.
Let me go search for it. I believe there is a part no. for this.
