Cigarette Console Mod?
Anyone done anything cool with their cigarette lighter/ashtray thats in the front console? I will most likely never use it so I wonder if it is just wasted space for me or if anyone has done anything cool with it. My 07 L will be here any day now

Thanks Como! I thought about the controller, mine will have air suspension so I have been thinking about that...wife is good with electronics might get some USB ports wired up and put into that spot. I appreciate it! I have been lurking the last few days, this is really the 1st thing I thought of to post about.

I just got finished installing 2 kits on the LS and the perfect place to install the activation buttons were right were the ashtray was.
The first kit installed was the "Car2Chopper" kit. Instead of a button though, it's a flip switch. Once flipped and activated, a rear mechanism ejects from the trunk as well as from the roof area and you are able to actually fly your LS as a helicopter.
The second installation was a button which activates hovercraft capabilities.
The install time for both took about 6 hours.
I'll be honest and say that I was debating between the hovercraft and passenger seat ejection module, but thought the hovercraft would afford me more fun and usability, especially given how often I find myself needing to cross swamp areas and body's of water here in the mid-west.
I was thinking about posting a DIY but wasn't sure how beneficial it would be to the forum.
Any plans to post any of your DIYs Chris?
