Being one of those people that have to have a drink with them at all times, I finally came up with something halfway decent for cupholders. Just thought I'd share.

I see that you have the "ultimate cup holder" also. I have one and like it. Do you want to sell the one you have?

Yes, I have the ultimate too. Don't like it as much as my newly fabricated one but I think I'll hang it to it for a bit longer. Thanks.

Which one is the "ultimate" cup hold? the one he modded into the center console or am i missing something

No, the ultimate cupholder is actually in front of the passenger seat hanging from the center console on the side of the tunnel.

ahh ok i see it now! I went with the Fischer Universal Cup Holder. It works great but sometimes if i have a HUGE drink i pull the ash tray out, guess i gotta screw it in so it wont come out

What did you use for the rings? I thought about something like this, but wasn't sure what to use. Reminds me of the e36 cupholders.

Ordered the actual cupholders from Bass Pro Shops. I'd have to look for the brand again but they come in several sizes. I had to cut the bottom out of the large one because it was too deep.

I found one on UUC.com that was really cheap and screws into the carpeting on the passenger side of the transmisssion tunnel. Works great. Folds up out of the way and adjusts to the big ones too.
