    My Idea of a VX Cup holder/Console

    This isn't for everyone but sure does work for me. You can't see it, but there are Two large cup holders in the back also.

    So is this just an idea or did you actually build this and install it?

    Yes I use it everyday. As far as install, No modifications to any of the existing console. All I did was cut the bottom out and notch the front out and took armrest off. This then just slides down and fits over every thing. Haven't needed to screw or bolt it down. Fits nicely the way it is. When you slide the lid back everything is accessible, defrost, mirror buttons etc. Seats slide fine and seat belts latch, unlatch easily.

    Can you take a pic with the lid back, where you can see the mirror buttons?

    So I am assuming you dont use the parking brake (e-brake)?


    I like the idea though.

    Never have, but if I needed Too I can. It still pulls up. But like I said in my first post I understand it's not for everyone, I like its usefulness and just thought to share.

    IMHO - yer thinkin outside the box ... & that's a good thing. May not be for everyone but you're the only one that needs to be pleased with the results. KUDOS.

    If'n nobody thought outside the box, we wouldn't have Marlinstein, Frankenstein, ORW, OFH, or superflexy (just to name a few).

    good ol fashion ingenuity if you ask me - serves its purpose, doesnt look bad, and can re removed and installed easily - cool

    curiosity: what kind of vehicle is it from?

    ROFL

    Every time that someone starts talking about cup holders, I flash back to the post that CrotchRocket made about 'Mericans being OBSESSED with cup holders.

    I love it!
