Default my 1st 2 do-it-myself interior minor mods

I don't know if anyone cares but this is really just my excuse to try and post my first pictures on the web using my new digital camera.

Ash tray: I used a dremel tool to cut out the cigarette things in the ash tray and lined it with self adhesive black foam material from my local crafts store.

Cell phone holder: I used a blook of wood and cut it so that when wrapped with the same black self adhesive foam material it would fit snuggly in the tray next to the lighter outlet. I drilled two holes in the wood and put magnets in the holes and then covered the wood with the foam. The magnets and self adhesive metal strip on the back of the phone I got from a cell phone store.

If by chance anyone would like more pictures or info I would be glad to provide.

The magnets didn't ruin the LED display on the phone? Just curious...

Default sure, but they look like everyone's 16 in. sport wheels

I assume you are looking for the new 17 in. sport wheels, however, to the best of my knowledge none have been seen as of yet.

Default For the record, that's an LCD rather than LED...

Not that it matters all that much, but LED displays are Light Emitting Diodes. Most, if not all cell phones, use LCDs which are Liquid Crystal Display. These are two totally different animals.

LED: Your old alarm clock with red or green digit segments.

LCD: Anything with greyish background and black text. (These are commonly backlit such that they take on other colors.)
