Cup Holder

[AMP]

so my GTP's cup holders suck, is there any other cup holders for the GTPs that i can just swap or am i stuck with them.

Ahh yes, I remember those. Better than the one in my Cutlass and miles better than the one in my GP. Sorry to say your probably stuck with them.

This is all you need. Its what we use in our 87 Cutlass which had NO cup holders.

You can put a 97+ Grand Prix center console into a 94-96, according to this guide over on clubgp; http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=49

 

I wouldn't think it too far fetched to go the opposite and put a 94-96 console in - revnrob has one for sale I was kind of eyeballing - the cupholders are setup differently than my center console but the rest looks the same.

That console is much narrower. Cupholders are better but it's not worth the work. I think they revised those cupholders at some point. Galen's '03 seemed to have much deeper inset than my '97. Mine are terrible as well.

so would one from a cutlass supreme work i seen a pic and i like the cup holders in it.

Impossible to say for sure - probably never been attempted truth be told. As GP1138 said, the old 94-96 consoles were a bit thinner, so the same could be true of the cutlass. I'd love to know if it works, but if you're not looking for the trouble I'd say your best bet is some aftermarket product like Mel87 posted.

 

I've been considering just getting rid of my center console all together and making my own floor shifter cover.

yes 2001 and newer got deeper cup holders (might be late 2000's)

well mine is definitely not a late 2000 then the cup hold is so shallow.

[AMP]

yeah going to try and get some 01 and newer cup holder

thing about the 94-96 console is with the cupholers, the dash gets right in the way once everything is installed. even putting in a 12 ounce can seems to be a puzzle without spilling the drink.

 

Funny thing with cup holders of any car of any year, they always seem to suck. I remember in older cars when the cupholders were 1/4 inch indentations in the inside of the glove box door.

Here's my center console:

The early consoles blow. Just find a later console top for you car. My original '97 cupholders were shallow and shitty, the special edition console top I have is worlds better.

[Mel87]

Turned out nice, amazing how it fits perfect.

Look for the "Big boy" cup holder it's a GM replacement also fits the regal..

oh my I want one so bad now but cant seem to find one, GM discontinued it.

My Lumina didn't come with cup holders... even in the arm rest (it.s a bench seat. lol) so I put an after market one on what I'm calling the catalytic converter tunnel... and it's okay, but it still kinda sucks. lol
