SO, Not sure if any of the Camaro's in the 80's had cup holders, but mine doesn't.

So I was wondering if I can instal one and not hurt my value.
The location I was thinking about, was between my shifter, and jockey box. There is just a flat panel and nothing under it. If I were to cut a hole, and plastic weld in a cup holder, would it ruin my car?

If you guys are not sure where I am talking about, I can go take a pic of it.

It had been done, and unless your car is a rare model in perfect original condition with very low miles it won't affect your value at all. I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

Fairly sure the only thing rare about mine, is that it's a real IROC. Nothing else that I know of about it is rare, and it's far from showroom.

I would pick nothing with LEDS lol but that's just me. Feels to rice-y to me. I'm just gonna go to a junk yard and dig for a cup holder insert and make that fit.

Buddy of mine has one with stock LEDs. At night, depending on the cup you use, it looks really cool. Like a bottle of water.

Basically as there are not lights inside the car at night, it just gives you something to aim for.

I use something very similar to this but attached to the side below the upper console piece.

I did something like what you were thinking, you can kind of see it in this pic.

So I did it. Made my cup holder.

So I found center first



Got a hole saw. It was slightly smaller than the cup. I wanted it to be a tight fit.

But first I needed to pre drill a center hole. Didn't want the hole saw to drift off.

Bam, hole is done.

But it won't fit.

Time to enlarge the hole.

I put it in a drill, and slowly moved around the edge until it fit.

It's in!

So large, my large water bottles fit no problem.


No way these 40oz cups can fit right?

Looks good, I'd have to push it a bit further back, I've got all the power window switches and stuff there
