By the color, I believe those are steel toed socks.

Excellent idea for USB ports.

Re: Removed ashtray yesterday

It looks cool but why couldn't you just use a plug in usb adapter into the existing lighter socket?

Re: Removed ashtray yesterday

Looks great.

I did the same thing a few weeks ago, but I used the cigarette lighter hole for the USB charger. That way I can place my phone where the ash tray used to be.

Because I use a small inverter at times. And a big old astray isnt to appealing to look at .
