Default My cup holder

My wife now takes the car to go to work and she has to have her coffee in the morning so I had to come up with a way to enable her to bring her coffee.

I did not feel like spending too much so I built my own cup holder. I used plexiglass which was one eight of an inch and cut out a bottom and a top and use piece of woods to join the bottom with the top and then glued some leather on both piece.

Here is the result

Very nice!
I have been planning to do something in the same location (cassette holder), but haven't come up with an easy way to do it.

I remember a while back there was one that attached at the passenger seat rails; wasn't terribly expensive either. Haven't seen it in a while, but was very nicely done.

The seat rail type is selling on ebay, search faster2002, no affiliation but I have had one for years and like it, you don't have to reach behind you to grab that coffee or soda.

Is this cup holder still available? Not on Ebay under "Porsche Cup Holders", or "Faster 2002" ?

I bought one on eBay. Looks like the one from Faster2002 (but I don't remember a seller's nick). It's really nice done. There's another one on eBay http://tinyurl.com/ltxr33

PS. It's my first post here, so welcome! I'll put some photos of my 964 C4 '91 soon. BTW - it is a US version re-imported to Europe in 1992

Default Ready Made Cup Holders

I have the cup holder mentioned above. Their about $100 and take about three minutes to install. You simply remove the cassette holder and this goes in it place. I've got it about two years now and am satisfied with it. There's a much more expensive from Bird Automotive at http://birdautomotive.com/993.htm. Theirs is actually an armrest with one or two cup holders and is made of matching leather. A fine armrest/console with cup holders but it's about $500.
