99 Civic cupholder won't hold my cup...solution?

[civickid97]

Hey gang
I had a 97 Civic that held cups like a pro, but my car now (99 Si) has a cupholder that's too big for anything. What, if anything, did some of you do???

Get a different cup

[MunG35]

agreed. new cup time or stuff the thing with padding to hold it or look for something on ebay

Time to super-size your drink, anywhere you go.

Yeah, as you can tell, I hate my jumbo sized cup holders in my '00 DX coupe (same ones you have). I don't have a solution, but damn, I'm blown away that the larger right side holder will accomidate my Nissan Stanless Steel cup/mug/thermos thing! I mean, seriously that's rediculous...

Honda takes 3 tries to get it right. 5th gens ('92-'95's) the front cup holders were too small for much of anything. 6th gen ('96-'00) they were too big well '99-'00 at least. Then for 7th gens, my understanding is that they are just right!

lol...super size would be great, but on my college budget that would take a toll...especially when my gas is $2.09/gallon...jam!! I guess I'll try to switch mines with a 96-98. They were much deeper.

go on ebay and search for a cup holder insert or something of the sort. i know they make them and im sure they ahve them for every car, just gotta find one

nice quote...lol...My girl's not in my car enough of the time to do that...lemme check ebay in the mean time.

The 7th gens do grip cans, bottles, mugs, like a pro but they dont hold the supersizes very well without falling and spilling. trust me on that one .

[megaman277]

go low budget...ask for more napkins, and stuff the napkins on the side of your cup so that its comfortable

96-98 conversion is the best way man:

He must've meant thread...if this was a waste of a thread...that was a waste of a reply...which means he's a waste...and I'm replying, so this must be a waste, which makes me a waste...geez maneti.
