Custom cup holders w/LEDs
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.
I had to use a dremel to cut out some plastic on the inside to get a perfect fit.
I can easily make any of you a set. With or without lights. I'm pretty much limited to clear, red blue yellow, or green. I can also custom-engrave the bottoms. I can't exactly do black, because the tubing part would still be clear.
Here's my prices:
Clear, no lights, no engraving - $30
Colored, no engraving - $35
Colored, engraving (pretty much limited to model and year) - $40
Other prices may vary, so be specific about what ya want

Re: Custom cup holders w/LEDs
I would love to do that, but I'm afraid it'd block my radio. I see you have an aftermarket deck as well, do the drinks ever get in the way?

Re: Custom cup holders w/LEDs
That looks awesome! I really wish someone actually made these- I'd probably just go with stock black and no lights, though in keeping with the more original theme of my car.

How would i go about paying you for this? I am very interested in purchasing a set do you think you could go to ebay with this? you could make alot more money than just selling on here and payment would be alot safer and easier.
