Cost was $50, which was cheaper than adding USB and other switches for various other future projects. Def happy with the way this came out! Thanks for posting the file and great job on your measurements. I went with gray and it's slightly lighter than the accent pieces in the car, so l my recommendation would be to go with a matte black.

Awesome! You can also paint the plastic with Krylon fusion.

I did this as well. Turned out great! 28 bucks, but I think they charged so little because it took them almost a month to get around to it.

Would you be able to provide me a blueprint of the box you 3d printed? I could maybe send to an online website to get 3d printed.

$50K car shouldn't be spared fine details specially if it has NISMO attached to it.

I'm refereeing to the switch blanks that come with the NISMO because we don't have heated seats or convertible.

So, a light bulb came into my head and I designed something for the 3D printing guys to come up with.

The Cup holder and blank assembly pop off as an assembly. NO TOOLS required.

The Switch blank is attached by 4 screws. Off it comes and now you have a square hole.

Problem is, it's not deep enough but it will hold an Iphone5, IPOD or whatever you want immediate access to.

Here are the pics:
