Default Cigarette Lighter cover replacements and other purposes

I don't smoke, so I have no need for the cigarette lighter. I know it serves other purposes, so that is why I am asking what other drivers do with their cigarette lighters?

I want to get a different cover for it to make it look different. Does anyone know of a cool cover or website I can visit?

Gurinder don't post real names on here. You got to keep with the code names. You never know who is reading this stuff.

Yeah, I took a Scion key chain and super glued it to my cigarette lighter. I'll try and post a picture later night.

It's a 12v accessory cap from an Xterra I think. Then I had a small black vinyl circle made to cover the top and then a small silver vinyl scion logo made to cover that.

I've been looking to do something with mine since day one but keep putting it last on a long list of things to do. Right now my phone charger is in there but I hardly use that so I don't need to keep it plugged in. I like the cap idea the best.

Tongman, I just pm'd you after seeing your post in the "what's the first thing you should do to the tC" thread, then I found this! lol

Anyway, I was thinking about having a sticker shop make me a small red vinyl "no" sticker (you know, the circle with a line through it) that I could stick over the cigarette to make a no-smoking sign. I used to have a 3" vinyl no-smoking sticker on the top passenger corner of my old CRX's windshield. always got alot of comments on it!
