Default Dual cup holders - which ones?
Hey all, I need dual cup holders for my '98 vert and I'm wondering which ones because I know there are a few different styles. I've seen the type that fit on the passengers side by the knees, and I've also seen the type that fits in the ash tray compartment. Which do you guys have and recommend???

Thanks

DIY : foldable, removeable, & out of the way when not needed.

I bought the cup holders from here http://www.boatersworld.com/product/331660290msk.htm. These ones are adjustable, too.

Clear plexiglass from any big-box home improvement store, drilled holes through the plexi-glass & pop-riveted them together. The top slides in under the console, and the bottom beside the passenger seat track. QED.

OR buy it ready-to-go from girl-in-a-box, too.

Humm...I have this one and love it. Not in the way of the passenger and the holder is deep enough so nothing spills on those twisty roads. Solid too, unlike the foldout one's of which I broke a few before.

I like this double one but I was leaning towards the single one because it looks like the small air outlet or what ever that is on the side of the hump is covered by the double one.
Is it?
