Exclamation Hiding Spaces

Hey Guys... Kind of an irrelevant thread, but I thought I would post anyway... I think I have managed to locate every one of the "hiding spaces" on our TL's... Wondering if anybody has found any others. The few that I have found include:
1. Underneath Coin Tray
2. Space Underneath the center console storage bin...Under the little piece of carpet
3. Behind Light covers on roof.
4. Little pop out carpet doors (underneath and to the left or right of CD player)

Any others??? BTW what is that little small black vent in our wood trim by the steering wheel? That thing is pissing me off, because it does not do anything!

it has to do with the temp of the inside of our car. it determines the temp the ac/heater has to put out. just like that black dome thingy.

all those would be possible good spots for kill switch as well! other spots i have seen would be taking out the cup holder, nice little space there. ash tray in the back of center console, open glove box to the left there is a nice lil nook to hide small items buen lugar para un clavo tambien.

If you need to hide bigger things you can pull the carpet out in the trunk by the tail lights, I found that one the other day.

When you working in the construction area... and you don't want to get hit in the head... wear your protective hard hat... Or else you'll be paying a lot for them doctor bills... :experience:

Condoms

2 year old shit ELA??? waaas it gooood?

I usually don't eat in my car anymore... and i don't let people eat in my car anymore... but that space under the cup holder like cali2.5tl mentioned... CLEAN IT OUT... A while back I found lots of M&M's down there once... wife and our little girl were eating those once on a road trip... awful sight... I need to look down there again... been a while...

Since you guys are talking about hiding spaces... i wanted to ask... do you guys have any weapons in the car... and what hiding space do you use...

Yeah, after I bought my car, I ended up pulling out that whole center piece. I found food that I wasn't sure what it was and about a dollar in change

I can't think of any hiding places right now, I don't have a reason to hide things, but I am sure I have come across some without realizing it.

What if you made a little container, and attached it to the back side of the kick panel thing below the steering wheel? Those flaps below the radio like someone mentioned. All typical sounding places, I don't think we have anyplace too special.

No, on the left and the right of the trunk behind the fenders. There is a lot of room between the carpet and the fender.

Since no one else will say it. For future reference, it's glove compartment.
