PICS!



It's awesome! Thanks a lot Ryan. I can rest my arm and drink in comfort, and as you can see I can still use my ash tray for my ipod!

Haha, part of the appeal of the 240 is you don't have to drive people. Should have said there's no room or something :P

this should help my drive to work in all my cars. the 80's & 90's import cars love those stupid under the radio cup holders. My gauges or double din cd look so much better. thanks for the write up

I loved this idea- but I am short and sit too far forward to use that comfortably as a cup holder. So I stole the idea and made an ash tray cup holder. Cut a wood piece the shape of the ash tray- cut a circle out of it with a jig-saw and grabbed two measuring cups from the dollar store- cut the handles off both, the bottom off one and attached them. Some vinyl and adhesive later and I had a place to put my coffee in the morning.

what are the websites that you get your cup holders and liners from? I am very interested in this. Since you no longer make S14 cupholders I will take matters into my own hands. (actually my dad will, he is a vey experience upholsterer and this should be a walk in the park for him and has the materials ready available)

Just started making these again, finding the cups are my only problem .scouring the junk yards for chevey malibu cup incerts is getting slim.

On the plus side, im making them for S14 now too

If you are still willing to do this, I'm pretty interested. It'd be well worth the $35. PM me if you are.

i just did this today and figured it would be helpful for people to know another decent source to buy the cup holders without having to go on the internet. I was able to find 3" cupholder inserts that worked from a boat supply store for about $6 per cup holder. I went to West Marine for anyone in SoCal they have lots of stores here. I think they are a nation wide chain so go to their website and use to store locator to see if there is one nearby. http://www.westmarine.com/ store locator link is in the upper right part of the page.

How do I purchase one of these or pay your service ?
I live in California so not sure where you are and if I would have to ship my console lid to you ?
