    Solution For Cupholders

    Well anyways, I was looking around on this website for some crap for when I will be putting my friends system in his car and I came across this hump mount cup holder. I haven't seen one like this though, and it's only $6.50



    I don't see why I couldn't take my heat gun and form the part I highlighted green. Also I was thinking of cutting slits in the carpet to tuck that part under. I would definitely paint it too to match other interior pieces.

    I have one that looks very similar to that...I never use it though because it doesn't quite match the hump and goes all over the place...

        Do you think a heatgun could help form the plastic to better fit the hump?

                  I got the dual cupholder w/stuff pocket thing that you wedge between the seats in the 91. It works pretty good

                    I've had a blue dual cup holder/cassette storage for about 16 years now. It's made by "Rubberqueen" and I was actually looking to get a new one of that style cause the old design matches so well but no luck yet. I'll have to get some pics of it.
