Default Coin Holder and Sunglasses slot

Hey Guys,

couple thing I miss that I had in my previous 2 Lexus vehicles is a coin holder and a cubby hole for sunglasses. I've tried keeping it in the small door pocket but coins fly all over the place when closing the door. Now my solution is to stash them on top of the shifter boot but looks stupid.

My CT200h had a holder inside the armrest in the console and my GS has a pocket in the dash.

Where are you guys keeping it??

Woo! First post!. I use a cup and put it in the driver's door cup holder.

Haven't determined where to put sunglasses yet... as I left them at the dealer when I traded in my evo. Picking them up this weekend.

Doesn't the coin noise bug you every time you close your door?

you can probably buy coin holder for peanuts at the dealer and let them insert it into one of those empty spots where your old one used to be.

I actually never noticed it. I'll try to pay attention to it next time. It might have to do with the fact that I have at least 1 lb of coins. I'm not slamming the door either.

It only jingles when I close the door. But I only notice it if I am looking for the sound

If it makes you feel any better, my GS doesn't have a sunglasses holder either because of the overhead console design. I put them in the door pocket. I at least got a coin holder in the dash, but it has taken some owners months to figure it out.

Compromises, compromises!
