Center Console Ashtray

I did a good bit of work on my center console today just cleaning it up. My ashtray is rusted out pretty good. I'm not a smoker either. I'm wondering what clever ideas you guys have done with ash tray if anything. I don't care to keep it and would like something there. I considered a switch for KC lights or something but would like other input.
This is for a 1975 K5 Blazer

Console image is below.

Very nice, did you purchase one of these? If so, was installation pretty straight forwarded? I didn't even realize that the front section of my console had it's own framing underneath. Like in this picture here.

Re: Center Console Ashtray

Hello MPeirce9, Yes I did purchase one. I've not installed it yet.
It comes with the template and doesn't look too bad to do.
I had waited for the polished type, but he was delayed in getting a run of those.
He offered up the rough/raw unpolished as a quicker alternative, so I chose that one.
