Notes: Fits pretty good. need to be trimmed in the rear and the sides of the cupholder. Will not fit on the bottom of the double din cause it will hit/interfer with the shifter. the Oem shift knob rubs slightly when shifted into 3rd gear.

:lol where did you find that thing?

I was about to say wouldnt it rub on the bottom? I hated it when something blocking or rubbing on the shift knob. Good find and cool idea, but I wouldnt do it =).

awesome! I want!

Found it at the pick a part. i think it was only 3 bucks or so.

It rubs a little with the oem knob but im thinking if i get a short shift or shorter knob i should be okay.

lol great find lol. You gotta tell us what make and model did this cup holder came of?

P.S. If I were to install this in my FD I'd be my GF's hero lol... As she is always complaining about no cup holders lulz

cup holders...bah! Does look good though.

Doesnt look right.

Get a regular 3 dollar door cup holder.

Why install a permanant one? Unless you constantly road trip your car for long distances.

Nice!

I think this came from a Honda? They are big into cup holders.

Definately from a 90s Taurus. My family has had a few of those cars, haha. fits pretty good.

Search for "DIN cup holder" on eBay and you can find these.

Good idea....

BUT no one eats or drinks in my FD so I won't need one anytime soon...

This.

There was only one time a LONNGGG time ago where i really needed that cupholder.

I remember i had to go to dunkin donuts for my dad cause he was sick and wanted coffee and i was going to take the FD out for a drive and my other car was blocked by my dads truck which i didnt want to drive so i took the FD.

It sucks having to shift and hold 2 cups of coffee in place on the passenger seat driving in the city. lol

Other than that, i never needed it. I drink mostly drinks with caps on it. Snapple, gatorade, water. So i dont need a cupholder.

cupholders came out of a old taurus, not sure which year but you could probably order them on ebay or something.

If you switched the cup and the coin it might work. Good odds with a short shifter, shorter aftermarket knob. The lack of cupholder is definitely one of my biggest dislikes about the FD.

Hmmm... I think the engineers didn't put cup holders in FD for a reason. But if it's a must for you then very nice.

My wife would love me if I did this mod. My FD is our "date" car. She always complains about not having a cup holder after we go to the movies and get a shake.

They didn't do a lot of things for a reason...somehow most of us manage to change almost every aspect of this car...a cupholder is nothing compared to what people have done to their cars.

^ Like Ls swaps. haha

:) Well...maybe some things they SHOULD have done lol

I love having no cup holder... makes it easy to tell the wife no when she wants to eat/drink in the car

Precisely! No food in my car damnit!

eat your heart out rx7club. ahaha
