My first mods - Drop stop and toll pass cover

Okay, so not really exciting mods

I usually carry my iPhone in my coat pocket and when we had our R350 it would always find its way into that little gap between the seat/center console. Well, that's not happening any more! Thanks, Drop stop.

Toll Pass Cover

I was sick of the ugly white E-ZPass we have so purchased the tonicconcepts toll pass cover and added a little black tape to get this:

Will the drop stop help on the door side? I was thinking about getting a couple but I was also wondering if I should get four of them.
I am loving your toll pass cover, very nice.

The door side won't work/help because there is nowhere to install them. Plus, it's easy to open the door and retrieve whatever fell. Sticking your hand down the console side is a b*tch.

They usually run about $20, google it, that is how I found it.
http://www.buydropstop.com/ a lot of other sites sell them as well.

My wife found them on QVC for $18 and change but as mentioned above, you can get them direct from Drop Stop as well.

Great idea! I hate it when your phone drops between and it takes forever to find get it. Especially when your in a rush early in the mornin trying to get out of the parking garage and into your office and the phone drops in between.
