Alright, you guys with pre-facelift cars know how worthless those two "cup holders" next to the parking brake handle are. Adding to the worthless factor, mine are broken lol. They don't work worth a damn and they rattle constantly. So what do i do with them? I thought about hitting up shokan for replacements, but they didn't work worth a **** when they were brand new, so why put them back in there? I could rip them out and stick something in their place, but what? I could cover them up with somethin; suede, leather, etc? What do you guys think?

 

HA I was going to do something about mine this weekend too. I'm thinking of putting a pouch in there for change and such. I'm not sure though, that sounds pretty ghetto. Mine work but are still busted a bit. I hate them.

looks pretty cool.

 

what are u talking about? mine work fine

 

wow thats pretty cool, it never even occurred to me that those cupholders were interchangeable!! I'll have to look into it a little more, thanks guys

Kayak, cool link I'll have to bookmark that website lol.

Phil, seriously? The only time they work for me is when i'm sitting still and the cup happens to fit perfectly between the non-adjustable upright thingies. If I'm driving or turning, whatever's in the cup inevitably ends up in my lap

 

Even if you're taking a left?!

 

lol.... but yea ive never had a problem with them, drive through, soda cans, frappacino bottles... beer haha jk... they all work

 

im with phil on this...i've never had problems with the cupholder under the armrest...although, only once i had a drink from harveys on my dashboard cupholoder and i didnt notice the ****** didnt properly seal the lid, so when the car moved it spilled all over the center console making a few buttons and ***** sticky...that ruined the rest of my week.

 

Get some airbag switches there.

I'm with Phil and vgo on this. I never personally had any problems with the two cup holders.
