I've seen quite a few custom cup holders posted. Only recently did I get around to installing some I made myself. It replaces the ash tray.
Made from Plexiglas which I cut using a CNC mill I had access to.
The lighting was pretty simple too, I just ran wires under the center console to the light bulb that lights up the shifter.
Glued together using a sort of chemical that melts the plastic together, to form a nearly seamless seal.

 

cool.

 

should start making a bunch of those, theyd sell on here pretty good bro, nice work!

 

Cool idea, but IMHO, bad location.

Drinks would be in the way of accessing the radio controls & you can pretty much forget about ejecting a CD or inserting a one.

And it looks like anything bigger than a 16 ounce can wouldn't fit. Like a Sonic cup. The upper wider portion of those would be resting against the radio & cause it not to fit without tilting badly.

 

You are absolutely correct about the radio controls. But most of the time i'm running the radio through my MP3 player, which is on a cord, so it works out.

As for what fits, and what doesn't, its sort of a gamble. Any sort of can will fit, and sometimes fast food drinks will fit. I like your honesty.

id buy it if it, but then again i dont let people have drinks in the car

 

Looks cool! just not for me. nice job

 

any body out there with the firebird console do something like this? i have seen a lot of nice cupholders for the camaro, and wish my shift plate (s) made it more possible to do it to make it look flush.

 

I've not seen many cup holders for firebirds. I'm sure someone's made a set that look nice
