That could work, but that one time you forget to take the beverage (or your passenger) and open and close the door, your car will have a nice (insert whatever beverage you were drinking *smell* and possible stickiness)

other then that, I say its a great idea...

someone just needs to do it :P

Yeah, it won't be me. If got those shitty custom fiberglass door panels. I like the snab ones, and the audi ones that rotordad posted I was looking at getting and mounting in just that fashion.

The snab ones would be tougher and have to be mounted on the drivers side only because of my GPS..... meh, I'll get it done, but seeing as how I have a housing at the machine shop right now, I've got bigger projects

What about this pop-up holder listed farther down the page of Saab parts.

http://www.saabusaparts.com/catalog/...b1vsam533lgck2

Click down, click up. Might be nice and discrete molded into (or next to) the center console.

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?).

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.
