m4xwellmurd3r Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 dude, that's pretty slick. I wonder if it would work in a 280z XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skib Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 as long as the ash tray is the same size i think it should, i made it as a direct replacement for the ashtray in my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Is that a step in the size at the bottom? A lot of cupholders are formed in steps for different sizes. The stock ashtray is perfect for a soda can, if I need something bigger, I yank the ashtray insert itself out and just use the hole in the console. If you've got room front to rear, you could put in a rectangular slot forward of the cup hole that will fit a phone or media player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skib Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 the one i made for my car is a little bit bigger than a soda can, i used a can as the mold. but it could be made into any shape really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
