Default Cup Holders For 99 996?

I'm seeking insight for aftermarket cup holders for 99 996. I've searched the internet and there are a plethora of choices. Curious as to what others have done to fit their 996's with cup holders. The easiest seems to be the version mounted near the vents but I'm sure there are other approaches.

Thanks!

one of the first trips in the 996 my son excitedly runs up to the car with his drink in hand... I yell - HEY!, he stops and looks at me, I say, make sure and put that drink ni the cup holder...

he smiles and opens the door, stares inside scanning back and forth and then looks at me and says "there are no cup holders"

I reply back "That's cuz there are no cups allowed!!!"

haha true story

Thx Mark, like the simplicity of it.

It's bad enough that there is no glove box, I need some form of holder for those cold brews....

No curb finders but may opt for the fuzzy dice.

Ultimate cupholders rock. When my 996 died I passed mine on to a friend who had coveted it for a while but was too lazy to order one.

Default Driver can also put it on the passenger's side

Prob with the ultimate is when you stomp on the brakes...... Gotta be smooth with the brakes.
