Thanks for the part number.

Yeah. After popping out the ashtray, there are those two black caps with springs inside of them that stick out. You can simply remove them by pulling on them gently and slowly (otherwise you'll be looking around your car for the spring). You'll still have a little bit of protrusion from where the springs & cap fits, but once you put felt over it. It's not that noticeable.

I just got a piece of black self-stick felt from Michael's (about $1.00). Cut it to fit the front, bottom and back of the space. I could have done the sides, but it would have been more work. I'll try to post pictures sometime this week when I get a chance.
