Cigarette lighter cap? I don't smoke and I hate the extremely dated cigarette lighter port. Where can I buy a cap to cap it? Similar to the one near slide out cup holder. It looks terrible if I just remove the cigg lighter without any cap covering it.
Thanks guys!

Yeah, but smoothlocks are a gloss finish. I want something that is the same finish or similar to the center console.
I will consider them if I can't find anything else. Thanks though!

maybe tmc2k1 and i are thinking of something different, i thought he wanted a removable cover just like the one by the e-brake. If you use a smooth lock cover than you wouldnt be able to remove it and reinstall it.
"They cover the entire flat surface of your door locks using a very strong adhesive. Just clean your lock surface, peel the backing off and place them on your car!"
how would you adhere it to an empty hole?

I would prefer a removable cover too. The smooth lock is removable as well, but I would just prefer a cap for it. Painting it matte wouldn't give the same texture like the one by the cup holder. I am shocked that nobody makes an easy solution for this.

I gotta get a new cap for the one under the cup holder under the HVAC controlls cause from me swapping cell chargers, I guess it finally decided to give. But for the one right in front of the shifter, I'm leaving the cig. lighter in there just because I want it to stay "stock" lookin.

ur interior must be out of this world if something so small as a cigarette lighter cap is throwing ur entire interior off. just sand it and paint it matte black..the fact that you are even considering paying close to $10 for something ppl are advising u to buy and paint is ******* hilarious.

Get the "EJECT". Sure it's a novelty, but this this has kind of turned into a joke anyways...

go to your local bicycle shop and ask for a handle bar plug. they come in all different designs from plain to carbon fiber. they plug right in perfect. best part is, most shops will just give you a plug b/c they have so many just laying around. I put one in from a company called Deda. Its got a cool matte carbon fiber look. just google Deda Handlebar plug, or just handlebar plug.

That No smoking cap looks exactly like what I want! I will check my local Advance/Auto Zone. It is a perfect cap to alert others that I do not want anyone smoking in my car as well! Thanks!
It matches the other one perfectly

Not sure I understand your logic. You want to remove something that came stock on the car. Replace it with something aftermarket, and still want it to retain stock appearance?
You don't want a shiny black dot to stand out against an otherwise black center console because you insist on wanting it to not be noticeable, and perhaps blend into it's surrounding area.
However, you are contemplating the bright red "No Smoking" cover because THAT wont stick out like a sore thumb.
It's your car...
