The problem is justifying this after you had JPM upgrade your original center console.
It looks good though.

 If you go with this one the one in the water fall that opens on its own should be limitated. But far me I think on hole or just one hole would suit me better. And it does need a soft place to rest your elbow on.

Last Nov. Dave told me he had this in the works but my elbow demanded that I get the JPM treatment. Owning a 2009 with one cup holder is a PITA ! Nice work by DDM ! My Kingdom for a waterfall cupholder ...

I'm renting a Charger while I'm here in San Diego.  It has a double cup holder turned 90 degrees to your design.  What I like about it is that they're connected in the middle and it has a ring of light around them recessed into the cup holder itself...
Food for thought.....

I'm not sure you could turn them 90°, but I have an idea, if Dave will let me know if we can get them with no holes in them???

Read my quote again, I wasn't saying that I like the 90° turn. That wouldn't be feasible to have two drinks and still rest your arm there.

Ok, I see what you mean. My idea is similar to that. My Caliber had the same lighting scheme.

I intend to make the hole still fit the two cup holders, lit, and have a wider connection between the two cup holders molded in so I can use it to hold a wide variety of items with the cup holders in, one in, or none in.

I was thinking that this cupholder thing without the cupholders could be used as a cool place to put some additional electronics. Such as buttons or knobs for audio or performance equipment (meth nitro etc). Is there a way to buy it raw without the holes cut like the way you have it in the pics where you are standing on it?

Or just one hole near the middle, using the rest of the spare space for extra equipment...

Good idea Kenny!!!

Looks cool guys. For those wondering, I don't think this will be able to be covered without A LOT of seam work and fitting.


That just means it is going to cost a little more to get it covered - right Joe?
