Was wondering where people are currently getting cup holders for their s13's? I dont have any cupholder in mine and its very frustrating. I want at least one. Just wanted to know if some of em around the net have bad reps or good reps, or where you think the best place to get em is. Thanks guys
remove the change holder from the center console.

change holder? are you talking about the ash tray? and if so, how big of a drink can it hold? will a soda can fit fine?
Thank you again :D

Yes you can fit anything from a beer bottle, 12-20oz can, to a 32oz large soda. What I have used that works great for me is the Bell vent cupholder that I see a lot of people use on here. I like the look a lot but the only drawback is that the clips don't hold anything heavy and I need it to hold my DD large 32oz coffee every morning, and my 32oz MD Baja Blasts during the day...haha. But the cupholder couldn't hold these very well so my solution was removing the whole dash to unclip the center vent from the rear, you can't do it from the front due to 8 clips, and removed to fins from the vent. Then I pushed the cupholder clips through and wrapped a strong wire around the ends of each clip and bent the ends up. It now can easily hold 5-7 lbs and holds my drinks great everyday. Hope I helped some, btw they are sold at Advance Auto Parts for like $11 or online for like $6. Here's a pic, you can see where I mounted it in the center vent.
BTW, I noticed your in VB. Do you go to the weekend meets at Genro's on Independence?

i used a 3 inch hole saw to cut a hole on my 89 arm rest. next time i`m gonna cut 2 holes so the passenger can have a cup holder too. i used to do the ash tray thing too. i also had a center vent mount that i used for air freshner, but the hooks that attaches to the vents stopped working due to heat. it gets pretty hot in Lakeside.

Duct tape in the center console works pretty well if you have used the right amount of the roll. probably still cheaper and handier even if you have to waste half a roll, since you will then always have duct tape with you:)

Many of you have told about cup holders. I know all of you have good knowledge about the issue and hope anyone can suggest me. I Have bought a new branded car and thinking to set up a good cup holder in my car. I have read many articles from online sources and found most them are marketing oriented description. Little while ago I was reading a cup holder review (https://itday.com/automotive/top-6-best-cup-holder-review-ultimate-guide-buyers/) from an online source. Although this thread is old, but some expert or user of cup holders still can provide me a good suggestion or any other reliable sources of best cup holders.
