Trying to find a cup holder I saw...
Met a guy at Carlisle that had just purchased an '04 at the show. Was looking at his car and it had a pretty trick holder. There was a flat piece of clear acrylic that tucked in under the console on the passenger side and then rested on the floor beside the console. On the acrylic was a black flip-down cup holder. I liked it because you could pull it down when needed, and then push it up and stow it when not in use. Do any of you know where I can get one of these?

I have the same cup holder and it works great. I purchased it in 2009 at Carlisle before heading to Bowling Green.
Give me a minute and I will look up the info.

They were located in section C80 at Carlisle.
It uses an boating style cup holder attached to clear acrylic that slides under the center console on the passenger side foot well. It works great.

It's a great cup holder. It has sufficient depth to hold a cup well, unlike the shallow holder in the console. It only takes a moment to put it in or take it out if you don't want it there all the time. I bought it from the guy at Carlisle also.

Or DIY. Cupholders available from a number of online vendors. (http://www.shopping.com/adjustable-b.../products?sb=1). Pop-riveted to a piece of plexiglas, which just slides in place. Piece of cake.

Those cup holders can be bought at most marine dealers. Seafit is one manufacturer, and West Marine sells them in black or white for $10.
If you're handy with a jigsaw and drill, it ought to be pretty easy to cut your own piece of lexan or plexiglass and pop rivet the cup holder(s) onto it.

I ordered two of them last night, from EBay... $10.79 a pair with free shipping. I picked up a 2'x2' piece of 1/4" Lexan from the "scrap pile" at a local plastics dealer, and plan to make my own.
