Where'd ya get that coin holder? I want to take mine out, and replace it with one of those. Or, have a flat plastic insert in there, and mount the coin holder under the arm-rest.

I always use bottles, so they never spill in the cup holders, and there nice and snug.

Those cupholders don't interfere with legroom, not even with a big gulp loaded. Not even in the slightest. My leg only OCCASIONALLY nudges a cup in a high-g turn.

Coinholder came from some podunk auto parts store. It'* the spring-loaded type. Quarters nickels dimes, and the pennies go in the ashtray.

It holds a big gulp. It opens up slightly. But it takes alot more effort to get it to open enough to dump one. It'* actually pretty well engineered for such a simple piece. The wider it opens, the more force it takes to do so. But it'* easy to slip a large drink in from the top.

A few members have seen these in action.

You're so right about the doors.... I learned that the hard way with a can of pepsi...

i have never spilled anything in my side ones. I like wills idea alot. Will that tape come off without marking the surface if you ever want it to?

2000+ is the WORST for cupholders, there are like 2 in the whole car.

Tape comes off just fine. It won't damage the vinyl at all. With these two holders, my car technically has 7 cupholders, but I don't use the two in the doors ever, and rarely use the one in the center console except to hold my GPS.

And let me re-iterate.....it DOES hold a big gulp with no problem whatsoever. And I don't even need to look down to put it back in.
