Good Cup Holder Idea?
I'm too lazy to go out to my car to see if this would actually fit, not sure if the shifter would get in the way of this or not, so i'm just speculating here. Anyways, with smaller head units you get the black piece of plastic under it that can easily pop out. I was thinking of maybe making a little cup holder setup out of parts from an old junkyard car to put in there. Main reason for posting this is because I wanna know if it'll fit cause i'm too lazy to go outside and check how tight of a fit it would be.

I've seen a picture of an fc with just this. So, it fits. I remember it being the kind that swings out. The owner said it was from a domestic truck or something like that.

You know where the Coin holder/Alarm led/electric mirrors are?
On my SE there is one large square in it almost perfect for holding the things. All you have to do is make it deeper so it can hold it while turning.
I saw mod that since it won't be hit by the shifter

I'm planning on making kind of a cup 'tray' right in front of the shifter, between it and the center console panel. My ash tray is not there any more, nor is the stereo surround or anything resembling the stock console . . and there is a lot of space right there now, with a nice flat base. I don't even have any holders built into it and I have been using it to set my drinks down when driving, and it works pretty well.

crappy tire
i just picked up a cupholder that attaches to the vent above the thermostat. Its a universal peice and fits awsome. 10 bucks and looks alright too, brushed aluminum... i think made by some company called s-type or something

damn that is very nice Icemark, did the entire assembly come out of the t-bird or just the coin and cup holders? It just looks really sturdy better than my crappy best buy head unit mounting kit.

I'm going to be using both DIN spaces for other things. Has anybody built a cupholder that pulls out from the armrest behind the shifter?
It seems like that would be a good place for it. (Make a plate that jacks up the armrest a little bit and has a cupholder which slides out if it.) Maybe even beef up that hinge a little bit, since it's so crappy.

I just went and bought some cheap plastic cup holders with the big arm thingie(i think to put it on the door?), cut the arm off and mounted it securely inside the passenger side storage compartment. Fits everything and doesn't spill, the whole way to giant size Taco Bell cups, and large BK milkshakes. Need to be able to opent the compartment though, so the seat can't be the whole way back.

It's a sports car people. You're worried about cup holders?
My solution is I only get cups if the journey will be straight to home. Then I set the cup in the center console and try not to bump it with my elbow. If I'm on a long road trip, I only drink out of bottles that have a screw on lid.
