BN Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Meijer stores in the Detroit area have these cup holders on clearance for less than $2.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg35765 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Not bad for $2.00. But if I had to ride in the passenger seat that would drive me crazy. Personally I would try to mount it inside the console somehow so that it is out of sight when not being used. Also, nice floormats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar_wilde Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I did the same in my Lumina, but I mounted it closer to the dash. How do you expect to make out with a girl when the drinks are right between you and her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFehl Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I installed those cupholders right against the side of the center console, right next to the shifter on the passenger side on the Skyhawk. Kind of aggrevates passengers though The ones I bought were like $6 at Wal-Mart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 The interior of your car looks really nice......then the random cheap looking cupholder sitting in the middle of nowhere shows up?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 The interior of your car looks really nice......then the random cheap looking cupholder sitting in the middle of nowhere shows up?!?!? No doubt!!! I'd remove that ASAP and just have a drink with a cap on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Wow you guys are a tough crowd. I use this car to get to work and need a lot of coffee in the morning so at least I can carry a couple cups without it spilling all over the place.

Twenty Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Better than the ONE cupholder I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 We might be a tough crowd but that interior looks awesome and it's a shame to muck it up with the cheapy cup holder that's all dude. It's not like we can physically stop you from doing that. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacmaniac94 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I just swapped in a 95+ Cutlass center console, and BAM. perfect. I had those in my Dodge Dynasty, worked okay, gotta make due with what you have around you. So, for 2 bucks? awesome. If you want it to look sexy as hell, swap out the center console from a new(er) one, and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Funny how we all look at things differently...I have a '95 Cutlass and HATE the look of the two large cupholders in the middle of the console...but there are few other choices that would allow for cupholders, and the convertible top switch.

GnatGoSplat Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Wow you guys are a tough crowd. I use this car to get to work and need a lot of coffee in the morning so at least I can carry a couple cups without it spilling all over the place. I can certainly appreciate that! I don't have any usable cup holders in my Cutlass, so I copied my wife's technique of putting the cup next to me, behind the seatbelt buckle. It usually stays put, but one time I had a larger cup and I guess I leaned on it too much without realizing it and the lid had popped off. I ended up with Sierra Mist all over my seat and on the right side of my butt. Good thing I didn't have any kind of brown drink in it. I'd say your cupholder solution beats spilling the drink all over the place! I've been trying to come up with a better solution, possibly something that pops out of the ashtray location. I personally don't like the factory pop out cupholder even if it works. When I'm wearing my coat, it makes me too clumsy and bulky, I'll knock it over. I know, because the cupholder worked in my wife's Cutlass and I was always knocking the drink over into the passenger side floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 The crotch method i use (No cupholders!) would probably be less favorable for hot drinks. It warms up my cold ones, but is somewhat refreshing in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_mezz Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I was thinking about putting a plastic cup in the coin holder and filling up the area around it with silicon rubber...? Maybe mix a little dye in to make it blend in a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occupant Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) I have a bench seat and no place to add a cupholder to the dash of my '76 Gran Torino. So I'm thinking, what would Henry do, and I think, well, he had to have come up with a cupholder for a bench seat that moved with the seat, cleared a fat transmission tunnel, and wasn't part of some armrest I don't have. And he did. I give you, the Ford Ranger bench seat-mounted cupholder/ashtray and/or double cupholder. Installed as early as 2001 models so I have a chance to unclip one from a junkyard ride. I'll take mine in black like this one, sans the ashtray part since I have that in my dash already. Edited April 10, 2010 by occupant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
