i used 3" pvc couplers, fiberglass, lots of bondo, and graphite paint form car quest, oh and i forgot, lots and lots of time
06-10-2011
any framing under it? or is just piled on? like you put fiberglass mat and resin to hold it, and then bondoed the crap out of it and shaped it?

You should now make them light up!!
06-10-2011
Im already considering lights lol
No there's lots of fiberglass support under the cup-holders but only 1 layer of fiberglass on the top and then a layer of bondo, the bondo's not thick just lots of layers on and sanded back off.

gay! I actually thought the stock cupholders were kinda cool.
06-11-2011
well the car is still kind of new to you, right?
just wait, a few redbulls and coffees in your lap, they wont stay so cool.
although it is funny if youre fighting with the GF/wife, go get fast food. awesome solution. Gianna knows not to piss me off when the cups are in the holders!

if it's deep enough one could hide their stash under the drink in the cupholder, just saying....

Go ahead and take a look at the date this thread was posted. I have my doubts he even gets on this forum anymore, much less checks threads from over a year ago.

looks awesome... i hate the cup holders in the car.... you corner and bam away the medium ice extra extra goes.. I might steal this idea from you and seeing if i can do it. I do like though how we can just push ours in and they are gone.

Yea, James Bond cup holders I like that too lol

^^^That's until their drink ends up in their lap.

@ninesixtbird
I used some 3" pvc coupling pieces and cut the the stock council piece to fit. i put fiber-glass on the bottom to brace the pvc and then stretched a cotton t-shirt for the top part and fiberglassed, bondo, and painted it.

Looks grate! I too hit my drinks when cornering.. it pretty annoying.

TEBO that was really really smart what you did as overtime the rubber thingy that holds the cup wears out and the plastic piece may break off due to repeated use. Atleast mine did anyways. Great job on the work. If you can make other ones somehow and put it on Ebay i would buy it.
