Hi all,
I did two things. Bought a cheap plastic cup holder that has the clip that goes into the
window guide. I cut off the clip and then drilled a hole in the plastic matching it to the
passenger side console screw. (It's black on both the driver and passenger side. If
you measure it correctly) It has room for big soda cups.
Second, I bought a ricer one that fits/ clips on the center air vents. painted it car body color for the smaller cups (Statbuck venti) or the cel phone etc. A little
difficult to direct air flow but works for me. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
[quote name='bbranch' date='Apr 7 2005, 12:01 PM']This is a good thread, should be over on the "modification" forum <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
I had about given up finding a good solution, but now have some ideas.
I don't think much about reaching way over to the passenger footwell to retrieve my coffee, nor do I like hitting it with my elbow and either contorting my arm to bend backwards or reaching across my body with my left hand. So, based on what I saw above on this thread, I tried two things, 1) Local sports and auto place, GI Joe's, had a very nice clip type (and velcro and suction cup) one that I tried mounting on the door pocket like a picture earlier in this thread, but on the drivers side there is not room for it and my leg, and like I said, I don't want to reach across the car, 2) The wedge (ok, side note here, the guy who is picking these up at $3-6 and reselling them on ebay for $12 + $5 shipping has a little racket going <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />) - yes its cheap and plastic and looks out of place, but the placement is exactly where I want. I am somewhat concerned that the semi-sharp plastic ridges on the back will cause permanent dents or wear holes in the center console, and to clean up the look, what I am going to attempt to do...
fill in the back with a flat piece of plastic or wood, wrapped in matching black leather and then glued to the wedge. I also want to find some curved plastic that I can also wrap in leather for the part left facing the passenger seat. I think if I can do those two things, then it will actually look nice in the car.
