Help me find a source for cup holders!! I've searched and searched.
I'm looking for the best way to incorporate cup holders into a console without simply having a hole in the top of the console to drop the cup into. I found the ones in the attached picture, which are along the lines that im looking for, however...
1. There is no bottom support for the cup and I'd hate to have carry around the designated spill free cup(which conviently comes with the holders) just because it works with the holder. I'm so clummsy I'm more likely to make a mess trying to pour the contents of whatever I buy into my cup holder specific mug, each and every time i need a drink.
2. Aluminum is preffered but not a requirement. Chances are whatever it is is going to get painted anyway.
3. Folding/spring actuated/hidden/collapsible in a HUGE plus
4. It probably needs to be modular or self contained so that it's part or parts can be "installed" or mounted into a console. The console will probably be MDF, wood, etc. so the opening can be made for the mechanism in anyway it needs.
5. A hole with a quality hinged lid so that the holders can be hidden when not in use is another option.
6. While we are at it, any suggestions on what usefull switches, trays, holders, voids, pockets etc you guys may think beneficial/convienient in a center console.(i.e. Courtesty lights, nick knack pocket, coin holder etc)
