Anyone else preorder a "cubby accessory" months ago? Did you get it?

I certainly do not mean to hijack the thread...I am a big fan of the interior design of the Model S but at times, I wish it had more "compartmentalized" storage. What I would really like would be storage areas or bins that would hold specific things: coins, sunglasses, E-Z-Pass, etc. Stuff that for me, after almost a full year of ownership, still resides with me in the front seat. The front cubby is useful but when I press the right pedal, gravity wins. I have looked at the products provided by after-market suppliers and though I want to and try to support them, I think the prices for the cubby containers are a bit high. I have started to look on-line for something bento-like that would fit but it looks like trial and error. I started with a plastic storage container from Rubbermaid--the height and depth was right but the width not so much. I hot-glued 2 magnets to the back side after cutting away some of the leading edge then hot-glued 2 more to the back surface of the cubby. The magnets hold it in enough to keep the container from moving when there is some weight in it. I am going to mess around with painting the inside or covering it with something soft as well. Ideally I can find something that fits, black or silver, with a felt-like interior.

I am now officially obsessed with this little project. The clear poly polypropylene bowl makes to much noise with coins in it. So I am trying 2 others I bought from Bed Bath & Beyond. The blue one is very cool but it's blue silicone & can't be painted to improve the color. The white one may be a winner--the sides & back edges needed to be trimmed to fit but it's tight & holds paint. A few coats of Silver Plasti-Dip & I will check it out after it dries.

I just paid down $600 for the evannex center console which is really high quality and looks like it came direct from Tesla. The storage compartment in that gives me plenty of storage, so I am hesitant spending another $150 on a cubby. I'd be willing to spend half of that though.
 
Here's a couple I've printed out. I have a 4D Carbon Fiber wrap on the front of both of them (both my cars are CF). I can print them in any color or material; Doesn't have to have a front wrap on it, I just did it to match my interior.
