Found a workable cupholder solution

[North Ursalia]

I have been investigating possible cupholder solutions, and have come up with one that works in the center console, is readily available, and also happens to be cheap . Nissan Maximas, I believe 1998-2002, have a cupholder in their center console with a flip over lid, like this one:



I paid $10 for mine, and if I could have found one in a pickapart yard, would have been likely $3 to $5. The lid attaches with four phillips screws, two for the cover and two for the springs. With the flip cover removed, you get this:



Just like this, it sits in the center console well. There is a bit of a curve to it that allows the flip cover to move over it, and trimming each end about 1/4" should make this cupholder sit completely flat and allow the center console door to shut. A better solution than those square universal ones on eBay and much more readily available than an OEM SVX cupholder.
