Safe to drill here?
Working on a DIY cup holder, and I think a simple solution is to mount a mountain bike bottle holder directly to the center tunnel with two short screws. Question: is it safe to drill where indicated on the photo?

Not safe to drill. There are fuel and clutch lines that run along the other side. Also, don’t drill holes in your car for a cup holder 
On this topic, I just received the leather-covered cup holder that replaces the cassette holder in the center console (from pelican). A regular sized water bottle flops around and my contigo coffee thermos doesn’t sit all the way down in it. So it’s getting returned. I made a lasso cup holder that attaches to the passenger seat bracket which I think that I’ll keep. After trying out the other options, the seat rail cupholder seems the best option in my opinion.

I felt the same 
Pretty easy to diy- bend a 1/2” wide strip of aluminum into a loop, pinch it together with a nut&bolt, then drill a hole in it to bolt it to the bottom of the seat. There are a couple small holes in the frame for a ~m4 sized bolt&nut

Do you have a photo? I was going to get a 90 deg bracket and bolt one end to the cup holder and secure the other end with the seat rail bolt. But I need a slight offset to angle the cupholder away from the center console.
