Default Cheap Cup Holder solution

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I needed a cheap cup holder solution. I found a door mount model with both a suction cup and in door tab for added security from auto barn that was about $5.

http://www.autobarn.net/acsmz.html

I personally couldnt use center stack one becasue I already have the radio, amp and climate control. Additionally, I dont have any hole in my vents for the vent mounted one.

This was a cheap solution and if fits fairly well between the door grab and the dash. A little awkward with the ignition but that no big deal

I couldn't find any holes in my vents so I assumed that I cannot use them

I don't really love the look of that big holder on the door. You want to consider this:

I've been very pleased with mine, and ingeniously, it's on the floor so that condensation or spills don't get all over the door or dash.

I recently got two of the ultimates. They work fine but wiggle a little in place. It's best if you can leave your seat in one position (i.e. not shared with two drivers... read "wife."

Like you, I learned about it on Rennlist (worth the price of admission) in a thread a while back. This forum has EVERYTHING!
