Then take a piece of the material from a donor car and glue it on so it looks stock.

not every version of the fc has that storage space, i no my se doesnt

and the fd definetly doesnt have any space on the doors, too tight

On the topic of computer parts. What about one of these? They are close to standard din size + cigarette outlet.

i know its not yours.....

Ive seen enough pics of your car to draw the damn thing.. im obsessed haha. Im still curious about those gauges though.

helghast7 · 03-10-2011, 10:55 PM

btw brian, it just popped back into my head i have another little gift for you next time i see you, i snagged it before it hit the trash last week...ill give you 2 hints, it has to do with this topic, and its made by bmw

im not sure if your actually going to use it or even want it but i figured its always easier to get an idea in your head when you can hold something solid instead of just looking at pics....and at 80 dollars a pop this was the easiest way to get one...even if it is...damaged goods lol

Possible temporary solution.

Build a wooden block of such shape to fill the inside of the center console. Design cup holder into block of wood.

This way when you want the cup holder you open the center console, dig out whatever is in there, put the wood piece in, put the crap that was in there in the front of the wood piece and the drink in the back.

No screws, no fuss, disappears in a second (out the window?).

My5ABaby · 03-28-2011, 04:35 PM

This is for a Miata and DJ is the one that told me about it, but it places the cup holders basically where I was thinking with my prior post. It's really not in the way of a passenger.

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-28-2011, 11:22 PM

Nah, I don't do temp very well, its still high on the list of shit to do though

RotorDad · 03-29-2011, 12:17 PM

Another Idea.
1997-2003 BMW E39 rear retractable cup holders.

Won't hold his red bulls.

I have an idea, and it won't take ages to make work. I'll see what I can do while I'm in this class.

vex · 03-29-2011, 02:15 PM

TTT; this is what I was thinking: bend a sheet similar to this. Drill large holes, and lathe some redbull inserts out of rubber or delrin or aluminum.
