cupholder ideas/suggestions?

In my 89 CRX there are no stock cupholders and no console to put stuff in. I want a cupholder (or two, but I'll settle for one), but I don't want one of those ugly ones that goes in the air vent, or a gaudy Walmart brand "Type R/S/X" one that you put on your dash with double sided tape.

Anyone here ever custom made a cupholder or mounted one that's out of the way and fairly stock looking?

EDIT:I'm thinking the ashtray compartment area might work. I'll look into that too.

Thanks,
Nate

gsr center console.

Just wait a month or so and buy one from from me, will come in fiberglass, kevlar, kevlar/carbon hybrid, and carbon fiber. They will have two cup holders and a compartment to store cds and other stuff in, and an option for a padded arm rest.

Inbetween my legs works 4 me :D

^ :iamwithst

what i do that works perfectly for me is when i get a 44 oz cup i put it on my left side between me and the door and the seat... fits snugly there no matter how much i throw the wheel around.... Works like a charm..... i do ride with my seat all the way back tho considering im 6'3" so i dunno how well itll work with the seats in any other positions.

Do the GSR console swap like Hybrid said or wait until TheSilentChamber has finished his cushy custom console. In the meantime, do what I do, put the drink between your e-brake handle and the seat.

Hy silient will it be the full console? and how much will you charge for them, with the padded armrest.

will a civic console work in my hf?i saw one in my jcw catalog

Do you have any pictures of how they're going to look?

Nate

Why would you want one anyways? Driving is a task by itself, you don't need to be doing anything else while driving. It's because of people multi-tasking and not paying attention why we have speed limits. Nobody multi-tasks on the autobahn.

why would I want a cupholder? Are you serious? Wouldn't having a cupholder be the safe option? A lot safer than holding a cup of coffee between my knees while I'm shifting and my legs are moving around.

By your philosophy, I hope you've never had any passengers, or talked in your car. Those are distractions too. Come to think of it, I hope you have no radio or clock, those are the real killers.

Nate

I only have a radio. I don't have passangers. And yes, I do drive well over the limit, but I still drive safer than the people who multitask

wtf are you talking about?

lol thats funny, multitasking - driving is multitasking - keeping the speed down, looking around whats in front of you and behind you, keeping alert at all times...

anyway, Silent will your console fit the 4-doors too? Can't wait to see some photos :)

It will be a full console that ties into the dash and goes all the way back behind the ebrake. It looks like a slightly modified version of the JDM console, kinda half bred with the GSR console. I wont have an exact price till I finish the mold, so I will know how much material will go into it, but fiberglass ones without padded armrest should start out around $100, maby less. I'm quoteing high because people take it easyer when you lower the price insted of raising it over your estimate.

I was responding to Clawhammer's post, not mocking my own. Sorry about the confusion.

I still find his response unreasonable.

Nate

Damn sounds like a nice reasonable price, Let me know when theyre available!?!

How is the crx one gonna work out. Are you just gonna make an extension from the center console around the ebrake or are you gonna replace the whole center console piece? Maybe I should have kept my civic dash instead of swapping with a crx.

It will replace the whole thing, and it fits all them, hatch, four door, and crx.

wtf are you talking about? I'm with you..WTF? lol..that's the most idiotic thing i've ever heard.. Just because some people are stupid and CAN't multi-task doesn't mean I shouldn't listen to music or sip a drink SAFELY in my cup holder at a stop lights or when it's safe. Jesus... if anyone on here wanted a lecture on driving we would go back to driving school.. Some people just don't knnow how to drive..although I do agree everyone should have a hands-free set if their going to talk on the phone.

:grinyes:

Synthetic_6 beat me to it i was just gonna ask that (about the center consol thing in the 4g4g)
edit: eh..im slow...i see the awnser...i was on the first page when i hit reply...lol

mmm koolaid

silent you better make that console soon!

i think i know what you guys are looking for, if you have an aftermarket cd player with those little din's well this slides into that din! (cant miss the pic in my sig)

your sig has too much shit in it, half of witch you cant even tell what is. Just stick with the picture of your crx.

I just found this how-to on cardomain...

looks pretty smooth, I'm gonna have to give it a try.

Nate

I just put it between the Ebrake and the seat... depening on the size of the cup or can.. choose the one that fits the best.. :-)

Deja Vu... old thread...

Oh, sorry
