I was looking in the center console between the seats today where the 2nd cig lighter outlet is and just noticed the coin slots I never saw them before so that was neat haha

hahaha I have a pennie stuck in my second cig lighter thing and a quarter stuck under my damn seat rain! LOL seriously though I think change is the only thing that actually fits under the seats in a coupe.

I got a story for you guys...

That 2nd lighter... its asking for coins to fall in... ive pulled many out... but one day i was waiting in the car for my table to be ready (gran lux cafe) and i went to pull my phone charger out of the 12v.... the bottom part snapped and the fuse from inside the charger fell into the hole... It was just long enough to touch both connectors and was sparking like MAD! I was flipping out... a twig did me right!

In my opinion, the coin holder is in a terrible place. Every time I take something out of the console, change gets knocked out. Plus the change in the charger deal.

I saw the coin holder when I was first checking the car out, thought it was brilliant then, not so much now...it's another one of those great ideas with a poor execution.

Ugh, every time i go to the gym and wear athletic shorts the i-key falls out of my right pocket and falls down into the abyss next to the seat...first time it happened i had no idea until i tried to lock the car and the button on the door just beeped at me (the car's way of saying f-you, i'm not locking). If it wasn't for the swiss army knife I have on my key I don't know how I would get it out sometimes...

...and I have a good $1.50 worth of quarters under the little storage thing by the cig lighter

The coin holder is absolutely useless... Every time I would put coins in it the coins eventually fall out and land on the floor of the console... I just throw my coins in the console now.

God, I'm so old-fashioned...I keep my change in my pocket. But, I agree that any coin put into the holder WILL, no doubt, sooner or later, fall out

I think it would look good - but then I am biased of course

This is the full set with the bumper grille - I didn't buy that part, I think it's still on MChedaddi's A/C haha

I'm not sure if that's the site he ordered them from (I don't think it is) but I bought the grille from him, not a retailer..

I bought some jelly beans and they came in a nice little pouch and I keep my coins in there now. I'll post a picture of it later, if I remember that is.

I actually really like, and have the same color car as you. I was thinking about doing a full grill swap when one comes, but doesn't seem like one will for a very long time, so I may just go this route...

Just curious, how much did it cost you? I couldn't find it on the website as they don't sell direct. Glad to hear they say it's like less than 30 mins to install too...

Use a vacuum at the local car wash when you take your car down to vacuum it out.

i keep my change in the top part of the arm rest. so tired of picking up change. about that grille again, not sure i like the fact that it sits over top the stock grille. can you see through it really well? do you even see the stock one through it?

The coin slots are the 3 grooves cut into the inner front side of the console box between the seats - the coins fit in there at an angle.

The grille was $90 plus shipping but it was used from MChedaddi and was only half the set so I am not sure how much he paid for it new..

As for looks you can see through it at an angle up close but not from just driving past - even when you can see through it, you wouldn't know there was another grille behind it unless you already knew it was there - you just see that there is something there. I like it because I didn't have to modify anything to put it in and if I ever want to remove it, I will still have the stock grille.
