So I had the ever popular penny stuck behind the ashtray problem, but when I took the penny out the Ashtray still wouldn't close. Upon closer inspection I noticed the the penny had broken the little latch on the back of the ashtray so I need a whole new one. The Stealership wants $270 for a new one, so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can a new one with the latch intact, preferably without getting buttraped on the price. I tried looking at the marketplace but I didn't find anything (maybe I did it wrong?). All help would be greatly appreciated.

and to extract/push out the shock bushings i used a 19MM socket to push it through with the ball joint press .with a electric impact gun .
for the lower control arm bushing i unbolted it and since the bushing was in pieces i had to use a hacksaw to cut the sleeve out .(see the sleeves that are cut n mangled) in the pic .
it was a pain in the **** .
ball joints were difficult for me because the parts that come with the ball joint press dont fit properly .. first one was soo hard .
but i returned to autozone and rented the adapter kit which has a sleeve that fits the ball joint perfectly ...so the second ball joint went alot smoother ..
and yeah . i have to wait for this weekend to install rear coilovers cuz i ran out of time .and i work so .thats why .. thanks penguin

my shocks/springs and all parts i replaced were bad or going bad ..
it was aweful..
so i went from very loose to very tight and rigid is the best way i can describe it ..lol
im at 103k so its not a bad idea to do it all at once..
i pretty much saved myself anywhere from 800 to 1100 bucks by doing it all myself ..
quotes i got from a few shops locally..
woohoo
