Cup Holders - Finally!!
After searching for the right cup holder - something that hides away, and isn't flimsy, I found it- thought I would share.
The one at the top, fits in the center console. it just arrived and works well, better than the vent clip-ons.

I cut a similar one out of foam. The trouble is I can't seem to keep Coke in the cup at 1.4 lateral G.

since armrest was my only lockable storage, i didn't want to turn it into a cup holder. i ordered these instead and they work great for me. http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/
these are very discrete and stainless steel looks pretty sharp even if someone notices it.

Looks dubious at best... what happens when you get a flimsy cup with a lid that doesn't stay on well... put it in there, and the console lid falls on it. SPLAT. There goes your drink.
I got one of the holders from UltimateCupholders. It's great! I highly recommend!

I had a Coke from Wendy's in my old truck's center storage bin. The lid came down and drove the straw through the bottom of the cup  Never put one with a straw in that place again.

Thanks
Thank you for the info on the cup holders. I orderd the console insert. I have the Intergrated ones now, but cups don't stay there with any agressive driving.

I have the original dual cupholder from porsche that go above the radio, I love it, works well, If your's arent working you going to need to remove it and clean out anything that causes it to stick.
