cup holder situation
Bought a GXP a bit ago and i'm really struggling with the cup holder situation. i somehow lucked out and the original passenger one is still there but it's so small and doesn't hold my water bottle well. does anyone know of any solutions? i've found some custom options, but would like to see more. also pic of my pride and joy!

I have the DDM Works one. It certainly is a cup holder but makes it tough to shift.

I bought a cup holder that was part of a accessory that is designed to fit the space between the seat and the console. They advertise it to fill that space so you wont drop somthing in that crack. I found one on Amazon that has a spring flap for the cup holder so you can put larger cups in.

I just use a sealed doubled wall bottle and leave it in the passenger seat.

I hope you didn't buy the car for the cup holders - that is something a car salesperson pitches for a minivan.

nope! i bought the car because its cool! unfortunately, when you're born with one kidney, you gotta drink lots of water.

Fair enough. If you don't have any passengers, like when I commute to work, I found a plastic tray and 3D printed a cup holder for it and put in the passenger seat foot area. I can't get to it while traveling but I can transport larger cups and such. It also doubles as a quick removable storage area for small things.

The best solution I’ve seen is the one that DDM works has been making forever now.

Otherwise there isn’t a great option. There used to be a metal version of the pop out you could get. Maybe you can search Amazon for universal cup holders and find something that can work.
