Is it possible to install cupholders on a 99 Boxster?

My 2001 Boxster has cupholders on the dashboard that eject out. I'm wondering if I can have these on my 99.

If I remember correctly, they can be retrofitted, but it requires a few parts. From the complaints I've seen regarding them, I'm not sure you'd want to do so. FWIW, I reasearched cupholders left & right and finally bought the dual cupholder tray that fits in the center console. Later I bought a Bird armrest. Sam Bird (BIRD Armrest Cupholder Home Page) still has a fe left and I suggest you call him about them. FWIW, Somewtimes I stil use the dual cupholder as it provides a place for my wife to put her drink when we travel. The two best benefits are the armrest and permant hinge (metal) that will not break or need repalcement.

I also use the duel cup holder tray from autozone, works well and is inexpensive. The only downside is that it does take up some passenger space.

Another popular option is http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/index.html: a little pricey but have heard good things about them.
