Very cool idea ... but I'd be wary of having liquids spill down in that area. I don't remember what all is under there, but I do recall that there is wiring for the shifter, bulbs & the like.

There isn't much under there, I have power mirrors so the wires for the controls run right down the middle, also there is a molded plastic piece of duct that follows the contours on the right side.

Im 30 years old, I don't spill very often!

Previous experience has taught me not to wheel with open containers!

So how do you seal an open soda can?

Anywayz, don't mean to derail the thread. Anything is possible. And I repeat, the mod is excellent.

Are you being serious? You dont open it in the first place!

I guess I'm weird because i dont have to constantly be drinking a beverage while wheeling.

and just to be a smart ***, this is how you seal a soda can...

Give it a rest will you? Yes, I'm serious. I don't drink soda 'cause I don't like the fizz, so I wouldn't be familiar with those. But I'm sure every soda drinker always carries those thingies around ... just in case.
Like I said things happen ... including spills. You don't drive with an open container, but many people do & they spill drinks every day in vehicles, wheeling or not. It happens. This is not a big deal, just a random comment to be careful.

Can we move on now?

There's a cupholder that goes on the passenger side of the console. Its oem and I've got a picture of it in my pictures. Put a screw in the side and it holds two 44oZ cups no prob. And never gets in the way

I like A lot of these haha. Personally, I took the cup holder off my bike and bolted it to my middle dash bezel ( the radio ect one). Imo, cheapest and easiest solution, Holds a soda can perfect and my iPhone cradles nice too. I'll put up a pic tomorrow haha.
