Been using this $5.00 one from Walmart for years and it does a great job. Have not seen anything else that works as well. It slips between the seat and the console and you can remove it at will.

I'm still convinced that a late 90's Buick Park Ave flip out of the arm rest cup holders could be added to a modified/raised 928 box.

Something like this:

Passenger console side screwed to the carpeted section - dual folding cupholder - Carl used to sell them (not sure if he still does) works and looks the part.

+1 for the Wally world portable cupholder. It survived my divorce and migrated from one 928 to the other

Unless your passenger is 300lbs, they will be fine so it's still good for two up front.

I use the same as Sean. Works great and is easy to remove, if desired.

+1 on the Wal-Mart cup holder. Works great, and you don't have to make permanent screw holes in the side of the center console.
