Ashtray fix....anyone try one of these??

GM991 · Feb 16, 2009

My ashtray door is goooooone.
Looking for a replacement or maybe using one of this instead.
Anyone try this?
87-97 PLUG AND CHUG, BLACK MUSTANG

thanks

i dont have one, but Ive seen a few pics of interior with what appears to be that exact piece. I will be getting one, once the new carpet goes in and I put back my center console

GM991 · Feb 16, 2009

Yeah I was hoping to see one installed before I buy one.
Pictures anyone?

thanks

Cup holders for the win. My 04 has the two big ones, where as my 96 has an ash tray!! I just use that for change.

Meh ... those things get in the way of shifting, 'specially if you have anything bigger than a soda can in there.

My ashtray door solution: super-glue a stack of little magnets underneath the door so it sticks to that little tab on the top of the metal ashtray. Cost me about $1.75 from Ace Hardware.

That would work but my door is MIA...dam door cost as much as the cup holder.

Gets in the way of shifting??? Did you have one or??
I will have to take a look at that.

thanks

not a fox, but here's one in an sn95. just about the same spot

can you see how it'd get in the way if your car is a manual tranny.

LiquidGT · Feb 16, 2009

I would just break down and spend the extra 13 bucks for this...
87-93 ASH TRAY DOOR KIT, BLACK, INCLUDES ASH TRAY DOOR AND REPAIR KIT MUSTANG With the repair kit your door will be bullet proof.

Or just get the door and the spring if you want to $ave.

The plug in cup holder will get in the way and it puts the drink up to high where its more likely to spill. The lower the cup holder is in a car the better... usually. You can use the space between the parking brake and passenger seat for a cup holder like everyone else.

I have one, but I have an auto so I cant say anything about the shifting aspect . I dont really use it for drinks, maybe spare change or my phone. Mostly cause I got tired of looking at that damn ashtray door

89stang1 · Feb 16, 2009

Buy it i love it not the best cupholder kinda in the way of shifting, but great for holding your stereo remote and some spare change for tolls

Nice color you have there I have tha same...

89stang1 · Feb 16, 2009

Thanks i think your talking about my exterior color, the crazy thing is my digital camera for a while there for reasons i have no idea was turning my car orange and i kinda like both colors wish i could have 1 of each color lol, as for cupholder matches my interior almost dead on and if u want it out temp. like when im racing i pull it out and lay it on the passenger seat then plug in my nitrous blanket. Heres a pic of my real color i think

LOL thats funny.
I would have sworn yours was orange...

Mines hugger orange..
Clean ride you have there

89stang1 · Feb 16, 2009

Thanks yeah it's pretty crazy cause in person it looks different yet, if u have grey interior like me the grey cupholders a good match

ID89GT · Feb 17, 2009

Ohhh black air vents look good, I may have to try that.

claytucc3 · Feb 17, 2009

I think that they (the round and bulky cup holder) look way out of place. The lines of the entire fox are linear and that thing is bubbly like the ugly (94 to 98) years of the Stang. They do serve a purpose as a cup holder if that is important to you. I just mostly drink water and they have lids on the bottles....... I just purchased that rebuild kit from LMR and I will be installing it on Wednesday. The kit changes the entire geometry of the ash tray to avoid future problems with the tray.

apex827 · Feb 17, 2009

do you need the actual ashtray to fix it with that kit from LMR. I have the ashtray door piece just not the actual ashtray, thats long gone

MahFiVeOh · Feb 17, 2009

Don't foxes already have a cup holder? Between the parking brake handle and passenger seat.
