    After taking measurements and dry fitting the tray, I cut up the Closet Hanger to make brackets.
    My plan involves 4 anchors. Only 3 brackets?

    Remember the 3 brackets? There are only 3 because I decided to drill a small hole under my trunk lid to attach the 4th anchor.(almost looks stock)

    Enter the Ash Tray? My model didn't have an ash tray because of the aux input for the radio. So I'm gonna use the input and pipe it to my sound card, but I want more......
