Re: replace the cupholder with this
A great idea functionally, but less that attractive cosmetically. Where our stock consoles are all silver in color I fear the "bin" may look like a hole in the console. It could serve a purpose to store a few small things where the cup holder goes basically unused. I'll stick with the closed cup holder.

It was kind of a pain to set up the first time but it works great.

I by-passed the whole thing,
took the car to a mexican upolster shop last year, he glued in 1/8" thick foam padding, then wraped it all in matching black leather. very classy and easy on the elbow. highly recommended modification.

If so, I'd definitely be interested in taking it off your hands if someone hasn't done so already.

Re: replace the cupholder with this
I just got my crossfire this week, and I have the base model... mine came with the bin which isn't big enough for my cell phone (LG Voyager). I have a 30 min commute to work and I always drink coffee on my way to work. Anyone have a cup holder they're willing to give me or perhaps a trade? (I'd rather not trade in case the cup-holder is as big a nightmare as everyone seems to think it is.
Trying to keep a boiling cup of coffee anywhere in the car or holding it is a nightmare.

Finally got around to installing it. Decided to paint it first. When with five coats of Krylon Aluminum Chrome and clear coat. Pretty good color match.
