Cool Cup holders

after 1hr of fabe and a 4$ investement there come my idea of cup holders,I know there not perfect but it beat's holding your coffee or pop in between your legs while shifting and wheeling your Porsche around.

The lack of cupholders really sucks when you have to go early in the morning and grab coffee. Especially with no power steering. Ive spilled more than once.

[Rigth on Joe we Canadians could simply not live without our Timmy's & this is the main reason I made those.I simply din't wanted something that will be clue on top of my armrest or that I,ve will have to drill or cut any part of the interior to install.Those are two old cupholders I had sitting around in my garage,simply measured & cut them the rigth higth to fit inside the center console, tinted them ,put a trim around the top & use double sided adhesive to fasten them down ,but like I said there not perfect but still do the job dirt cheap.And Ritz + 1 had it happen to me with my 944 very frustrating.Champagne I think are one of the best when it come to leather trims ,928 center console are a lot deeper and better suited to install cupholders, will like to see some pics of the 944-968 one and what kind of solution they came out with.

That's sweet Ernie! I like the idea of these hidden cup holders. I also like how you installed them without modifying or "cutting up" anything.

BTW, that 928 cup holder is sweet also!

Dont know if anyones done this but a good place for your drink is leaning up against your hip in the corner of the area between the door and your seat. Always good with cups with lids, not so much with uncovered drinks...well i havn't tried so i wouldn't know.

As for that cup holder in the place that i dont currently even have a leather arm rest at, hell ya i want one now too!
