Cup Holder Options?
I know this subject was beat to death in DMCTalk's previous life but what are the best options and locations for our cars?
Would any of you please share the type, where to get it, and pictures of the install?
I was also trying to find a spot to make it integrate with the stock console but haven't found a good spot yet...
Thanks!

I picked up a couple of these. I inserted the very flexible metal strips under the center console plate around the shifter. No drill holes or adhesive residue.
So far so good!

I've installed a series of funnels and catheters to drain out under the car.

Dave, don't forget the IV bag along with your funnels and catheters. I put these on my Honda Goldwing and was able to travel 1000 miles without stopping. Beats depends.

Ummmm, errrrr, ahhhh, welll.
I've got a great prototype. Will mount same as original tray (just two screws), removable cup inserts (easy cleanup for spills) etc. etc. But right now, the prototype is smooth. I wanted to be able to cast it with the vinyl grain so that all it would need is to be dyed black or grey and would match the console. Haven't found a good way to get the grain on it though. Casting it smooth, then wrapping it in vinyl would be a pain so I haven't cast the mold. Open to suggestions.

The easiest and cheapest way to make cup holders in the D is to use the stock cup holders that came with the car - that everyone has.
The space between the seat back and the pontoon near where the seat belt bolts to. It easily holds one or two 20oz screw on cap bottles. It can also hold the drive thru cups as long as you don't get the "super suck" size. Normal aluminum cans fit as well but are not tight so they may spill.

Made some progress on the cup holder mold today. Best of all, I think I resolved by texture issue. Stay tuned.
