I have a cup holder in my center compartment, doesn't everyone else? Why do you want to put it there?

Haha if you didn't notice you cant fit more then a soda can in there......so i usually end up driving with my drink where my ash tray is, or in between my legs.Thats always interesting atempting to drive manual with a drink inbetween there.

drinks usually fit in between the seat and the center console.

I usually just take the ash tray out and set it in the back seat and put my drink where the ash tray normally would be. I don't ever put anything in my ash trash, so there's no worries about crap spilling out. Heck, I barely drive my car for that matter.

I got 2 plastic cupholders from advance auto, the ones that are meant to clip onto your door panel in the window channel or something cheesy like that. I just snipped the U shaped clip off the top, then screwed them into the back of the center console. they rest right on the hump in the center of the floor, and screwed into the back of the console they arent going anywhere, and now i've got 2 cupholders that actually work! was a PITA using the inside console cupholders lol. i'll try to get a pic up.

didnt like the ash tray one because it'd be right around where my arm lays when i'm shifting
