After being inspired by Etlsport's cop holder find, i picked up a bunch of them from the logical yard. I moved my radio down and ditched the CD player. after shaving off all the tabs from the cup holder, I put the mounting tabs from the CD player in the upper din slot. the sides of dash panel need to be filed down a little, I left the fit tight so it would hold it from moving. the tabs from the CD player keep it from moving up and down. the only problem i had was the cup holder needed to come out about a half inch. I got a trim ring from a stereo install kit (a spare piece from best buy, got it free)and used it as a spacer. it's been in for two days and hasn't moved at all. the trays slide out fine and I haven't spilled my pop(yet). ;) I do have 4 more, if any one wants one PM me. http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/thumbs/MVC-004F.JPG (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/MVC-004F.JPG)http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/thumbs/MVC-002F.JPG (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/MVC-002F.JPG)http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/thumbs/MVC-006F.JPG (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/MVC-006F.JPG)

I'll raise my hand for one! Let me know how much and where to send the moola!

How well do you think this would work in the lower slot?

It's a little harder(more filing) and you won't get anything taller than a regular pop can in there.

Hats off to Orion for making this mod quick and easy! :)

It took me all of about 20 minutes to get this holder installed in place of my stock CD changer!

Thanks Orion for everything...
