Cup/Change holder installed, from ford taurus Options

[wuhukf]

After someone suggested that the Ford Taurus cup holder might work for our celicas, I ordered one off ebay and tried it out. Wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, but wasn't hard to make it fit. Here's some pics of it in the dash:

[Drocay]

thats pretty sweet man, nice job.

[vangSTa_celica]

Hey, thats pretty nifty.

[Jeremy1210]

Thats freaking awesome. What size drink do they hold?

[wuhukf]

they're the same size as the stock ones, but just in a better spot.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

My one friend drives a Taurus and I always thought it was a great way to hold stuff. Maybe I'll steal his or something.

[Batman722]

great job on the instal and the pics. I wanted to do this but I think the dash is too slanted and drinks would spill. You make me want to reconsider...but if the dash wasn't slanted, I would definatly put in one of these
02+ VW cupholders

[wuhukf]

The slant isnt too bad, just make sure you drink a little bit of ur drink before u put it in there . The change and the spot i put the head unit remote in is the best part though.

[shin]

that look awesome. if i didn't intend to put a S-AFC in that spot.. i'll be doing that too lol..

The pics for this mod are dead. Does anyone have them archived?

[Jaws4God]

[celicurr]

I've got one of those kicking around that I pulled out at a junkers for someone who hasn't picked it up yet... hmm...

[pepsiman]

That would be great to have one of them I thought alot of double dins where same? Wouldnt that be a direct fit without moding? I hope it would be i might try to stop by a junkyard and pick me up one. My dads truck also has a cupholder somewhere through there i might check it out tommrow...its a toyota pickup

[JesterDC]

Those are very similar to the cup holders in my older sisters Jetta, except hers look cooler

[JesterDC]

Pictures!!!
Looks like these(VW Jetta Cup Holders)would take up about the same space as the taurus ones.

[amysmojo]

I use to have those cup holders when I had a jetta, i loved them cause they expand for any cup size! And I mean ANY cup size lol

The only thing I hated was having the stereo & change holder stuff below the cup holders because drinks would drip down onto the other stuff which sucked!

[Valo666]

any one done the 1/2din cupholders off a corolla??? They have a good idea and ive been thinkin about it, but i dunno what to do with the other 1/2 din.

[Batman722]

the only major probs with any cup holders in the DIN spot is what Amy said, the condesation or spillage from the cup and the fact that out dashes are slanted, not strait up and down.

I want to see someone put a cupholder froma saab in their car, they are BA and well hidden.

[snapshotgt]

^ I wonder how those mount?

[mr-belowaverage]

So is everyone using the stock cupholders in the armrest? Doesn't it make shifting annoying? Ugh. I'd still like to see some implemented solutions.

[stetsonaw]

Bringing this one back from the dead... Here in the Japan, the rage is vent cup holders... all they do is attach to your a/c vent, and then a foot comes out and stabilizes the cup holder. They also make ones that hold cell phones, or also hold both. I'll post some pics if anyone is interested.

[CaliJeff]

we got those here in the US, not so many ppl use em tho.

Yes, if you can post some pictures it would be very helpful! I realy need to do something with the cup holder because it makes shifting realy annoying!

If you watch any Japanese car video from anywhere in the past few years majority of the cars have the vent cup holders.

Not only do you have the vent cup holders for the outside vents but they also have cup holders that lock on your door with help from your window sill.

So if the japanese are doing it, it automatically means that it's cool

The original post is from March 05. I wouldn't count on getting the pics reposted. They've been dead for a long time.

[Celicagt1995]

Since I found this topic interesting, I decided to go to a junkyard to get a cop holder for my celi. And since the original pics are dead here are mine.








I had to do some modding to it but i it wasn't to hard. Took me about an hour and a half.
This is a good cup holder for a manual But it ain't worth it if your car is an automatic like mine. REASON for that...
the cups block my stereo.
another thing, the coin holder can only hold 2 to 3 quarters per slot, lol. but it sure looks nicer than the stock box.

Now I just need to figure out how to erase the letters on the buttons.

And excuse my English but it ain't my first language.

Your English is fine- I didn't even notice anything.

I'm more interested in your windshield washer stalk. You have a push button on the end... Mine, to wash the front windshield, I pull straight back on the thing, and to wash the rear window, the end of the stalk twists. But I have a '98 and I noticed your car is a '95. Did Toyota change stalks???

Install looks good!

[SwissFerdi]

I like it, but it doesn't seem necessary to me because the stock cupholders don't bother me, I actually think they're genius. That would probably change if I was using a manual though.

Props for inventiveness.

[CelicaST_CALI]

I seriously need these....attempting to shift from 1-5th with a McDonalds large drink in the way isn't the easiest thing to do..

[freddy121389]

memories.... I used to own a 92 taurus, little mofo quit on me 3 times, but then i moved on to the celica, would have never thought of doing this, what a great idea. I have a double din though, i have no chance of making this work now

I guess they did.

[MrAyasli]

Yeah true.

Stock cup holders + manual = fail.

lmao.

[Celicagt1995]

I just removed my Ford Taurus cup holder so if any one is interested I'm selling it. Make me an offer.

[Timothy]

Saw the sticky so I decided to head to my local junk yard..



The installation needed some fabrication. the ford taurus cup holder trim blocked one of the clips for the center console. Nonetheless I hated the original cup holders. Sorry for the over-sized picture
