Get one from a maxima. Not only do they look better, but they are a better design. Cost about $2 at pic-a-part. But as for using it to hold drinks, its the fastest way to ruin a perfectly good radio. Buy it for looks or the storage tray, as the cup holder is useless. Bottles are safer than cans/cups in our cars. :dblthumb:

That is a waste of money. Looks like the one I have in my Corolla. Can't put a 32oz. Chick-Fil-A cup for example in it because it hits the Blower/radio area. Plus it gets in the way from shifting.

The 240 I used a generic dual cup holder from Vato Zone( I think it is for a truck to put on the center console) and put in on my rear passenger floor and rolled the seat back all the way to hold it. It has like a tray for coins,etc you put that part under the seat and put the cups on the other side.

You would be surprised it works pretty well.

I was bidding on a jdm cup holder about 2 years ago, and lost the bid 2 secs before the bid ending. The bid was going for $96.00 at the time. lol

There's a reason why your car doesn't come with a cup holder.... :slap: Nissan engineered it that way.. It ain't no HAM Wagon SUV.. :facepalm:
