He made them himself.
Are there pics of said cup holder?
Here's my custom cup holder.
No you guys should have seen Gab's setup it was cool and took the space of a DIN under the radio in his '99! 8)
Hey Gab do you have any pictures of your setup!

Do you know if it is secured via the back of the aparatus to the center console?
Nah it was similar to the one on the E-Bay auction, it fit on one of the DIN's on the dash, and since the NB have the HVAC controls below the radio looks like it would be a better alternative to the cup holder in the center console. Plus it has a cool change drawer.Quote:

Yes, it does. In fact, the NB cupholders are bloody worthless, for that very reason.Quote:

Shifting is for losers... so says this guy. :wink:Quote:

It fits into the single din opening under the radio with an OEM look. It does not get into the way of shifting, but don't try it in autocross! On second thought I may pay you to put in and use it in autocross :P
I will get a pic up later this week. Please PM me if you are interested.
