Look ma, no cup holder - Its installed, you just cannot see it...



So in the photo above its there, but its back far enough you have to go looking for it to see it.

Now in the photo BELOW you can see it clearly from that angle... the trick to placement is you have to mount it far enough back so its hidden as it can be BUT it also has to be able to allow the top of a cup to sit in there when its popped out. I would have liked to have it farther back but then the cups would be pushing against the front of the seat.
Where it is now is the best balance between tucked back and yet still allowing cups to sit in there level without pushing against the seat.

The front edge of the cupholder when it is closed is just flush with the top edge of the seat... I had to LEAN forward and look under the seat a little bit to get this shot.
You have to try and look for it as it is now... your eyes dont see it from drivers side or passenger unless you look under the seat. The view below is looking under the seat so thats why you see it.

Thats a 9/16th socket by the way.
