Gen 2 Cup Holder

ElevatortecGTS · Mar 23, 2013

Easy and economical way to install cup holder in the console( other than bringing a passenger to hold onto your drink.) Went to boat supply store brought 3" insert plastic cup holder $3.50, plus hole saw 3" at Canadian tire for $9.99 econo model as you are only cutting into plastic.The measurement is 5 1/4 inches from rear console line and 4 1/2 inches from passenger side of console - 60 second later we have a cup holder installed for under 15 dollars

Not too bad looking, I would rather go with the MGW glovebox/holder.

eucharistos · Mar 23, 2013

i have been looking into this too, how did you determine where to drill w/o hitting wires or cables (if any under there?)

do you know if it could be more centered?

i saw the inserts on amazon, how deep are the ones you used?

thanks

ElevatortecGTS · Mar 23, 2013

It has to go there, thats the only spot where its deep enough and clear of all wires etc. Originally I was looking to install two, you will see why only one works after drilling.

The glovebox holder is cool, but looks like it could interfere some when driving , judging by the pictures

If some would like I could post pictures with the cup out. Then you can see whats below.

Also you can get stainless steel cup holders if you are looking for another look

I just buy beverages in screw top bottles and use the mesh pocket between the seats.

Console=not *****.

I am sorry but I don't think any cup is worth that hole. Again just my opinion. That was one thing I liked about the Viper is that it is back to basics.

Ditto, New console is big money. Replaced my cracked console with a new one, then put a console wedge under it. Not a cheap repair.

I just use the mesh pocket, it is a perfect fit for a 32oz

Thanks!

Wal-Mart/Amazon cup holder. Under $5 and no drilling required. I've had one for years. Only used it a few times, but no problems with spills or anything tipping out of it. It wedges between the console and passenger seat

Thanks for using my picture of my car

I can't believe someone would cut a $700 part for a cheap cup holder.... if anyone else is thing of doing this please PM me and I will trade you your arm rest for one I have that has a crack (something worth cutting rather than a perfect one).

steel snake · Mar 24, 2013

I knew if I watched this form long enough I'd actually see this. The dude DID cut a hole in the console!!!! OMG.

anaconda666 · Mar 24, 2013

I love it when people complain about what you do to your own car to make it more comfortable/enjoyable! Enjoy your beer holder.

ElevatortecGTS · Mar 24, 2013

yeah ..looks like the thing turned into Twelve Angry Men movie.. to each their own.. for a minute I thought I was in the corvette forum

LifeIsGood · Mar 24, 2013

Mod the hell out of it...cut whatever you want...paint it whatever color. My house is worth a bit more than my viper, but these guys probably don't care what gets cut on it. It's a freakin' car. :rolaugh:

More comfortable/enjoyable.... go figure, you must be a Canadian!!!!

Man I feel like going back to a European Car with all these crap mods people do to their Vipers....

Man I feel like going back to a European Car with all these crap mods people do to their Vipers.... Why not add a dolphin to the hood and a thousand stickers to the Viper? Just buy a Neon and save yourself that 401K of yours.

Dude...Relax...take a deep breath. Adding a cup holder doesn't even come close to the dolphin paint job. Have you had a bad weekend?

ViperTony · Mar 24, 2013

Holy meltdowns batman. :omg:

ElevatortecGTS · Mar 24, 2013

geeissh.. sounds like its getting personal there GT...... with us Canadian Red Necks.....comment

speedracervr4 · Mar 24, 2013

LOL, Elevatortec good to see you're enjoying/modding YOUR car!!

ElevatortecGTS · Mar 24, 2013

Tx speedracer.. I figure with adding the cupholder.. I should pick up a 1/2 second in the quarter

blackandblue01 · Mar 24, 2013

Didn't know you could use the words Canadian and redneck in the same sentence.

GTS Dean · Mar 24, 2013

sacrilege.
