I've got the '01 where the pop-out cupholders came from the factory mounted high in the centre of the front console, right over the stereo and heat/vent controls.
I had to replace the LCD screen in my HV controls, partly because they're crappy and partly because the previous owners dumped coffee or soda onto them from those useless cupholders.
I did the cupholderectomy, removed and sold the cupholders, and moved the HV controls to where they belonged in the top, above the stereo. Also got rid of the useless CD holder (4 cd's??) and replaced both lower openings with storage cubbies. I then made a custom iPod holder that attaches to one of the cubbies.
An Ultimate Cupholder on the passenger side and we're off to the races!

The puny, half-assed cup holders that Porsche puts in it's cars are a joke on us. The Germans laugh at us for all the ridiculous emphasis we put on cup holders, especially in a sports car.

I think you guys need to learn how to drive more smoothly. I drive with a 16-ounce soft drink in the standard pop-out cup holder at least once a week, and I've never had an issue.

Okay, so a little homework for everyone... go out and rent the movie "Initial D" and watch it. Then you all need to (like in the movie) put a cup of water in your car's cup holder and learn to drift the car sideways through turns without spilling the water. Every day add just a little more water to the cup until you become a mountain pass drift king!

Sounds easy enough... what could go wrong? Just to be on the safe side though, I think your Assistant should ride along with me in case my cup starts to slip.

I don't drink coffee when I drive, I drink when I get to where I'm going. :dance:

Yes. Germans believe that a good cup of coffee should be savored slowly, in a cafe along with fresh warm strudel. Savoring a fine sports car should not be diluted or distracted with a cup of coffee.

I guess that's why there's no Tim's in Germany!
