The only "Good" cup holder that I've ever experienced in a car was one from Dunkin' Donuts that slid between the door window glass and the molding. It could handle high lateral G loads without letting go of it's vice-like grip on my beverage. It worked great, but I hit it with my kneee every time I got out of the car and ended up spilling stuff on me every time anyway....

If you make one, make it uB3R 733T with Carbon Fiber and Nomex honeycomb composite. I'll take three.

The cupholders in my Taco aren't bad. They aren't the best for bottles which tend to tip over. They're the same design as the ones in that auction.

I've just noticed that most cup holders either are way too small to fit anything other than a can. Times when they are big enough to hold bottles and larger cups, they just fall over or get in the way of things. I need a big cupholder to hold my Steel Reserve 40oz still while I go drifting.

Would the shifter clear? I mean it looks as though that takes the place of the under-radio pocket thing...am I missing something here or would that thing be too low and too far out to not hit it in 1st, 3rd, and 5th?

Goes over the radio from the description, which would mean spillage on the headunit which=NO

I'll make my own and mold it into the center console

Dads 99 Windstar has adjustable cup holders in the front. Two that pop out of the side of the 2 middle row seats(Pretty grippy). And the ones in the rear suck. They're by the window and offer no grip or adjustability.

All in all, some of the best cup holders outta all the cars Ive been in. Too bad its in a Ford.
