Default cup holders?

sort of irrelevent, dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway
Does anyone know of special cupholders they make for the late 944? Or any 944 for that matter? Something besides the universal stick-in-the-window ones. Maybe something that snaps into the center console. If not, maybe ill make one, just for those long road trips.
Thanks

I've found that a cup (with a lid of course) can fit nicely between the passenger seat back and the rear seat...the passenger seat has to be all the way back though and leaned down a bit though.

Look in performance products, they make some.

I like the cheap Walmart one that holds 2-cups and a phone. It just slides in firmly between the console and passenger seat. It can be a little cramped for the passenger until you finish those Starbucks vente's. Toss in in the back when you don't need it. $6.99 and no permanent mounting.

Could not pass this up. Looks very clean and extremely secure. No rattleing during the drive either.

I got ones that fit into the middle air vents. The shelf-like thing below them add to the support. From my previous owner, no idea where they are from.

I have this one too. Works great, and hides quickly behind the seat when not in use.

For interstate driving, I use the cup holder under the ashtray.

I took off the little door cubby on the drivers side, and most drinks fit perfect inbetween the door and the parking brake handle.

I've got one of those and love it. The only problem I have is that some water bottles are able to slip through the center hole, but most are wide enough that they have no issues. It works great for holding video cameras as well! No noise or anything, and when I don't need it I just rotate it up and over so its sitting in the rear seat (but still connected to the passenger seat belt bolt).

I have a collapsible one that secures to one of the small bolts that secures the lower part of the console int he passenger footwell. It's located on the same place as the one pictured above. It's fairly secure and folds up out of the way. I think it was about $30 off ebay, and I'm really happy with it.
