Default The King Of All Cup Holders

I had some free time today so I put a cup holder in my dash. I still have to do the finishing touches and some painting but other than that it is in there and it fits pretty good. It will hold 2 king cans with no problem so it passed my test. Let me hear what you have to say about it. Sorry for the not so perfect picture quality.

That's very similar to the SLK cup holder.

Thats a great idea. I like it you could paint it or you could get that powered by mercedes sticker and put it there, or both.

its very similar to my slk32 setup. the biggest problem is condensation dripping from the cans onto the electrics in the dash. nice work though

No, I think it is a very interesting idea, I would like to know more about the install and how you supported it. I do not let anyone eat or drink in my car so I would never have a need

Additional info needed. A picture closed?

Nice work, but the cover/door needs to be color-matched. Great Idea.

The first pic is of it closed. I didn't have any paint around when I put it in but the "door" will be painted to match
