Very clever for a cup holder, but it's not quite finished. You should also hack-saw off the top flat vertical extension portion of the cup holder evenly flush with the top of the horizontal "circular arms". Thus, you'd just have only the remaining horizontal "circular arms" stuck-on with the double-sided tape at the 12 O'clock (forward) position.
By also removing the top flat vertical extension portion of the original cup holder would allow you to easily access the Console Push-Buttons (very important) and make for a much cleaner installation without looking shoddy.
After you hack-saw off the top flat vertical extension portion of the cup holder, either sand smooth the top cut jagged edge and/or put a piece of Black Electician's Tape along the top cut jagged edge to protect against any future cuts or personal injury. Then your cup holder mod would be complete/finished.
