Hi all,

I live in San Jose and am looking for a 82-92 firebird cup holder. The driver side on but in grey.

It's the same one that can be seen here but this one is black and I have the grey interior:

Thank you!

 

Why don't you get the plastic/fabric paint and paint that one? For new, that's an astonishing price. SEM I think is the brand.

 

Just so you know. The cup holders are all originally black then just painted to match which ever color the interior was..I have a tan set and you can clearly see they are black plastic painted tan.

 

Originally they were molded in color. As GM phased out the service parts, the first to go was tan, followed by gray, and finally black. When a specific color was no longer available the computer would list the black part number and include a note "paint to match".

It's somewhat of a moot point anyway. At the end the gray driver's side wasn't the right gray anyway. Old photo, both of these cup holders are Long Duk Gone, but you can see how the NOS driver's side wasn't even close. At the same time, the gray passenger's side from the dealership was the right color.



Pretty stupid cup holders anyway. The mounts are weak as hell, they get in the way entering and exiting the car, they're so big cans and most cups don't fit snug anyway because some nitwit decided 44oz cups should neck down at the bottom to fit in a cup holder intended for a 12oz can. If all the pieces of a broken cup holder are still on hand, epoxy or JBWeld will hold them together almost as well as a replacement unit.

I guess I could do that. I've never painted plastics. What color paint would match? If it doesn't match my passenger side then I guess I could always just paint them both

 

that's the passenger side 😕 ... I'm looking for the drivers

 

Very good info. I've tried glue and didn't work out too well but I may give it another try using something a bit better before I decide to buy another one and paint it. I went to two junk yards today and none of the firebirds there had any cup holders

 

I have three used sets grey at the shop 3 left 3 right 60 bucks a set plus shipping pm me if you're interested. I will separate but the price will be 45 for the one I don't like to break up the sets. I also have the tabs for the screw holes 20 bucks

 

PM sent!
