Default $5 cupholder! Works Great

Picked it up at Meijer for less than $5. If someone wide of beam like me gets into the passenger side, then it has to come out. But the wife is petite enough it doesn't bother her. And I'm alone in the car 75% of the time anyway.

Just wedges between the seat and console. Doesn't mar the leather or the plastic. It's cheap and comes in black or gray! Place for the cell phone and ipod too.

That's exactly the one I have. It really is about perfect, as you say.

my cup holder is the same as well, but the thing is it is starting to peel the paint on the passengers side of the center console because everytime my fat **** friend gets i the car I have to remove it.

They sell them all over - even Amazon if you need to...

Did you put those rubber bumpers in yours?

Great idea - It is too wide for a medium cup. That would fix that problem quite well!

Those bumpers are actually the self-adhesive rubber hubs that hold CDs in place. I'm looking for some adhesive black foam with minimal compression that will look nicer than the buttons. I will check Lowe's. I also cut some cork for the bottoms of the openings. Looks somewhat unfinished from the passenger side, but looks great from the driver's point of view.
