Default Storage suggestions? CD's and stuff?

WHOOOO HOOOO! Picked up my new 2002 GS3 sport design yesterday! Just LOVE the car so far, what a rush coming from a 99 Honda Accord!

However, and don't laugh the Accord has some features that are better than the GS. I won't even talk about the on wheel audio controls. But what about storage?

I brought two CD booklets into the new car, a 24CD and a 36 CD. NEITHER would fit into the center console. And only ONE would fit into the glove box. That damn Accord had a center console big enough to put in a microwave oven! There was a big well where the GS ashtray is, a sunglasses holder, a coin tray in the top of the center conslole, and a huge glovebox! It totally spoiled me as far as storage.

So, does anyone have good suggestions for storage mods or add ons? Where do you keep CD wallets? Sunglasses?

btw, as Dex mentioned, whether you realized or not, the armrest is 2 storage areas, and there is a lever that's below the button to access a lower bin.

this is what i do i have over 200 mixed cds that i keep in my car and this is what i do...i keep one book of 72 cds under the driver seat...and a book of 200 under the passenger seat, putting them under the seats from the back....it works out well because even when people sit in the back the books fit snuggly under the seat so they don't impede with the back seat passengers.

The little square area next to the changer [in the glove box] holds two cartridges nice and snug, no rattling around.

If you get smaller soft sided CD wallets - the type that take the CDs out of their jewel cases, you can put them in the pocket on the back of the passenger seat (or driver's seay, but you can't reach it as easily).

Default Storage in the rear!!!

I have the 99' GS400 and there is a hole that seems to be two compartments for storage behind the rear seat arm rest, the only thig is you have to rip out the leather to get to it??!!?!?
