You guys don't just stuff your drinks between the seat and the door?

On your left between the lap belt and your hip is a good place too.

That works great with my Jarritos Mandarin soda bottle, but kinda gets slopy with a 44 oz from 7-11.

Guys, there is a possibility that there might be a few cupholders available. It is not through me though, it is through someone else. Now its not confirmed yet though, so don't get your hopes up too high.

People apart of the cupholder GB from a month ago will have first dibs. If he can get them, I will forward your nicknames to him and you might be getting a PM

Him and I discussed price, looks like he going to try to keep it under $100, but will probably be close to it. Different parts of the country have different prices. Seems like a legit guy, and he does have positive feedback on this board so I wouldn't be worried at all.

More info to come over the next few days.

Hell yeah Dave! Never say die!

Wait a minute, it's not Kurdain is it?

PearlJammzz · 05-08-2008, 09:40 AM

If it is, I am going over to Kurdains house and stealing one for myself, haha.

And Dave, I've said this many times and I'll say it again. You, sir, are a cock tease.

wagonis · 05-08-2008, 09:45 AM

Don't bother, Kurdain can get the 1/4 DIN, not the 1/2 DIN.

PHOENIX · 05-08-2008, 05:11 PM

no, its not kurdain

eckoman_pdx · 05-09-2008, 04:16 AM

Hmm, if anyone can still get these I am interested.

lsgheero · 05-09-2008, 12:31 PM

If its just the stereo cup holders what about the ones from a corolla? they have a din cup holder thingy from the factory. (can't remember exact year but I think its early -mid 90's)

but wouldnt that get in the way of the radio?

On a side note this is what I do works for me but I do most of my leisure driving at night here because no one is on the freeways. I stick mine drink (this works as long as you have a good suspension, know the road very well and can shift without too much weight shift.) in the lil isle near the clock (i drive an mk1) or if I need the extra stability in the mini isle in front of the clock.

I can do this with anything other then a bottled drink (not enough room for the liquid to slosh around without making the drink spill).

Oh and I cannot do this any other time then on the freeway at night or driving to my house from my store at night. anything where I don't have stop go stop go

PHOENIX · 05-09-2008, 07:41 PM

okay, the cupholders are definitely sold out, sorry guys.

i am researching other options, and will let you know by the end of the week next week.

The problem is when you try to drive in stop and go traffic, or through low speed streets, while trying to balance your Venti Light Cream Decaf Mochachino or a 44oz Big Gulp while trying to make a right hand turn, shift in to 3rd and flip off the ***hole who just cut you off...it's just nearly impossible.

Whatever you do, don't order any from ebay unless they are OEM, they are all cheesy. I would like to be notified if anyone finds the OEM peices, thanks.

PHOENIX · 06-01-2008, 07:14 PM

Its confirmed, Toyota is sold out, and will not be making them again.

Oh my gawd, just when i though there was a way

Even though i developed an acute skill where 2 fingers are holding the drink and the remaining fingers are used for shifting, but i'd rather have cup holders- usually when i have a friend i tell em to hold both...
