Default A small but usable little JDM trash bin Mod I bought.

I had been meaning to get this JDM trash bin for so long with my last car. I have so much little garbage (gum wrappers, receipts, misc. papers) that my console cup holders and storage are a bit of a mess. So I knew I would actually use this. Yes it's JDM exclusive so it's a tad pricey but it's also OEM quality and easy to install. I use it allot now and it's so easy to use and emty out. I see so many technical questions come up here and we nitpick our cars allot. I think a post that has really nothing to do with much but enjoying your RX and keeping it clean might be fun.

With that said I thought I would share a couple of pics

This is from the site. No drilling! can also adjust the distance so it's closer and less distracting to use while driving. This is the light Tan for that interior but you can get the light Grey and Black as well. Just press the button and it pops open.



Seems silly but it's a great find I think. Every little thing to help me keep the car clean and neat Yes I know I need to wash my floor mats

Wouldn't that installation interfere with your leg and the gas peddle?

It's a little garbage bin. I did not realize I never actually said what it was directly. I will take a daytime pic today.

Not unless your obese or a giant and your legs take up an unusual amount of space in that area. It's got a soft oem type leather padding on the exterior so you can actually lean your leg on it if needed.

From my contact: http://www.myautofashion.com/haclbox.html

Let her know James sent you I want her to start feeling more comfortable selling to people from this site so I can help people here get deals. She seems reluctant.

"No drilling!" So, how is it attached? Velcro?

Japanese ingenuity and there usual mindful design Haha no Velcro tape. Prob would last about a week at best with that. I thought it needed to be drilled and since there are metal plates and lots of screws I put off trying to install it. But when I really sat down and looked it was just metal plates using screws to apply pressure in all the right areas. Hard to explain and was hard to figure out at first even looking at the instructions but it's actually really simple and well thought out. Completely secure in place.

I usually just throw my little garbage in the drivers side door handle thing thing. Then when I get home I empty it out and throw it in the garbage. BAM $80 saved to spend on hookers and blow. Nifty contraption though, I just don't see myself spending almost $100 to neatly contain my garbage.

Might wanna watch out in Jersey for highway patrol or local cop when throwing your garbage out the window. Some of them might actually stop you a mile down the road and make you walk all the way back, pick it up and throw it away proper.

Says you own a Gx350?? I can't seem to see that car around? Gx470 or RX350?
