Default Help Me Delete the Cup Holder

I've been searching for 45 minutes trying to find if any vendors or even a how to thread on deleting the worthless cup holder. I would like to keep the appearance stock, but will paint if I have to.
Thanks

step 1 ) drill holes in cup holder
step 2 ) fill cupholder w/ industrial strength expander foam
step 3 ) shave off extra hardened foam off top
step 4 ) fill w/ bondo
step 5 ) sand.
step 6 ) primer , primer , primer , base , base , clear , clear.
or just fiberglass the entire thing afterwars and you'll be straight.
I did this and I attempted to carbon fiber for the first time.. but I failed. hope this information is helpful.
