Creative Cup Holder Ideas

[navdoc101]

Okay. I have Hertz speakers, would not want to block them. I know picky, picky. Think I spelled that correct.

The speakers are still in where they should be, just modified the plastic cover.

more detail. what material did you use? where did you find the material? how was it mounted?

Thats nice, i've seen them on e-bay. I have great speecers in those spots. I wonder if the cup holders are small enough to mount above the speakers & below the vent. Still want the Protege one , with the door to mount in cuby.

Yup the cup holders themselves you can find online for very cheap. You can mount them pretty much anywhere but I wanted mine to be out of the way & not look too tacky & aftermarket.

I took off my speaker cover, heated it then bent it so that the mounting surface was straight but I could continue to use the plastic clips that hold the top of the cover in originally, they are pretty tight and sturdy.

After painting the cup holder grey, i used 6 small screws through the holes in the cup holder, through in the speaker cover.

I can get closer up photos if you're interested.

i got bored today and was thinking outside the box for this one... 3 options


1, good for cans and short drinks, but if i put a 32 oz in there it hits the dash



2, good all around but a little close to the leg



3, it works really well i think, still a little close to the leg but it doesnt crush the cup




hopes this gets others to thinking, my idea came from my s10 doors that had a spot for a small drink in the door

coin/cup holder out of a taurus in place of the radio or in the cubby....works great.

I too have been using the rear ashtray hole - perfect size!!

I bought a '92 Festy last winter and it had a water bottle in a cup holder behind the e-brake. Turns out it's the receptacle for the ashtray. Works good enough!

im going to build one in my glove box panel by cutting a huge hole in it big enough to hold a big gulp cup & when you open the glove box you set the drink in it & im getting one of those portable ice makers to run off of a invertor & the glove box will be my ice box!! :laughing5:

Here is my protege one. Notice how I filled the gap with card board. I then went and epoxied carbon fiber on the sides and front.
