Re: [DML] Cup Holder - ADVANCED



Hahaha, I'm sorry, I must have misread this. It sounded like you
were thinking of drilling into the frame of the car to add a cup holder.
:)

</sarcasm>

I have the clip-on cup holder and so far, it's the best solution. I don't
like that it hangs off the console, but it totally works... and looks
almost stock.

I'd thought a while ago (before the clip on cup holder came out) about
replacing the ashtray area with cup holders. After taking the console off,
I realized that there's simply no room there. Also, there are wiring
harneses that run all through that area.
