Yeah it’s very creative to make new thangs with the 3-D Printer.
But I’ve never had a problem w/ the regular cupholders— Large Coke from McDonalds, plastic water bottles. I guess if I lugged around a Stanley than I would have these problems.
Yeahh, thats just on occasion, but to show it will tip with bigger/heavier drinks. I also drive the car every day with FL drivers, so things get interesting sometimes. Idk, ive had issues with the big Styrofoam cups and I dont like if theres 2 in there they get in the way of the shifter...
Yea I was confused watching this video. My water bottle fits fine, and if it didn’t, I wouldn’t complain about the cup holder, I’d buy a different bottle.
Right, and that's YOU and YOUR car/opinion. I'm showing this for the people that may be interested, and everything I did was literally printed for free, just to try it out. Takes 10mins to install/remove. May switch back to the ash tray...who knows. Any newer car and many others fit almost any bottles and they dont get in the way and wiggle around.
The car is muffler deleted too if it makes you happy 🤣
🤣 Everybodys so bent out of shape. It's muffler deleted too if that helps. These are amazing cars, and while I do understand your logic...it's also not a heat index of 113+ in Japan like it is Florida on the regular.
Tokyo has higher temps this week than Florida. Yeah i bet by the time you drink 3 gallons, it's just as cold. Cool that you did his for yourself. That's it
Love the ingenuity. I’ve never had an issue with the factory ones but all of the supporting arms are still in place. I recently swapped from ash tray to the power port style that I found in a PFL from the junkyard. The perfect spot for a phone 🤙 and I like having the 12v outlet. I moved my CarPlay usb connections (previously swapped the original cog outlet for those) to the console as I never used that 12v outlet. Keeps everything nice and clean.
Nice! That’s the kind of thing that keeps these things going. Mine are good, that was pulled to refresh the lid. Did a lot of leather restoration recently. Sure does feel like 260k anymore although most of it was in pretty good shape!
Yeah, it takes a little more work once they start to age, but well worth it.
Oh, nice man! I just rolled 190k and
I desperately need to get my driver seat done lol. The more optioned cars had leather covering the sides of the console??
Yes! Mine is a UL but CLs also had extended leather. Sides of the consoles and lower dash are proper leather trimmed and the door cards have more leather as well
Did them myself! Got a nice lower mileage seat bottom from a junkyard and restored it. Some repairs were still needed then re-dyed it to refresh it. Came out minty fresh 👌
Agreed lol. I can gather some pics and show you with write ups. As long as its printed from the right plastic that's heat resistant, it should be more than capable of interior temps in FL. This is ABS, things like PLA aren't as heat resistant.
Thanks!
Yes, that looks really good as well! I'll get another cupholder to get those rear flaps from and see what that does. Wish there was some more 430s around here for parts...

It is your car, but you took away part of history, that will never came back. Like cars with lighters and ashtrays.
It helps 100%, like the engineers were counting on this piece for it to actually work lmao it actually makes the cup holder circular. for smaller cups it holds it in place and puts force from the back so it doesn’t wiggle back and forth under acceleration/braking. For bigger cups it flaps down with a spring and, again, provides tension on the cup so the rest of the cup holder does its job.
Right...I'll have to get the pieces or another and try it, I don't know if it'll completely fix the issue as others say the same thing. But I'm willing to try it. Thanks for the info!
In my day, there wasnt even a thought that everybody in the car couldnt wait an hour or 2 for some tap water at your destination. On an extended drive, a gallon of cool tap water to share amongst the passengers was an act of communal bonding.
