Kennyfvholla Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 How do you guys never use your cup holders?? I have no cup holders in my Camaro and I absolutely hated it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i have a cup holder that slides between the passenger seat and the console, because my cup holders in the dash are broken. its a PITA either way, if i use the stock ones i cant see my stereo.

Kennyfvholla Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 That's why I swap the radio to the lower section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 In that case, the cup holders definitely get in the way. The only thing that I actually dislike about these cup holders is that condensation drips all over the front part of the center console, so I can never put anything there if I have a drink and it's warm out.

harrumphicus Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This ^ is why I hate the cupholders, I could care less whether they get in the way. I control my music from my phone anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stasis Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 So much hate for cupholders What did the cupholders ever do to you Did they take your family from you? Didn't think so. Shesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The fact of the matter is, I'm American and these cup holders only fit a 12oz drink. The USDM guys couldn't have made a little modification to the original design on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 There are two different cup holder designs for the US. One from 95 to 97, which has two same-sized openings (they hold most drinks but not bottles), and the one from 98 to 99 that has one larger and one smaller opening. The larger one will hold a plastic 20 oz bottle. I don't really like the way that the second design opens up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 That's really good to know since I need to pick up a new cupholder on my next junk yard trip. I like my current "same size" setup but I'd like to see what the updated style looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Went ahead and did the power mode mod and grabbed the updated cup holders since they also slide out at a slightly right angle. Simple throw switch mounted on the center console blends in nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyLou Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Wow, that switch is sweet Mattmatty, where did you find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 :/ Unfortunately I don't know where it was purchased, I found it at work one day. IIRC I did some wiring on a buddy's van earlier this year and I got a switch very similar to it but with a blue led, had to have gotten it at walmart/advanced auto/autozone. (Some craptastic retail store that can be found everywhere) EDIT: Here is the EXACT switch that I installed aside from led color. Dealextreme has tons of crazy gadgets, prepare to waste hours browsing but not buying anything because you just aren't sold on the reliability of half of it ha ha.
