I did one similar to this using the ashtray.  Since I am a nonsmoker,  I
seperated the two ashtray halves, bent back the tabs that hold the
cigarette rest in the tray section, removed the rest, and screwed the
halves back together.  This left a nice compartment with a fancy sliding door.

My opener wasn't quite as long as the metal tray, so I cut a small piece of
wood to go in the tray to keep the opener button under the sliding door of
the ashtray.

We never use the cupholder anyway, due to its above mentioned uselessness.
