Default cupholders

I have a 2000 Camaro SS. I absolutely hate the cupholder in the middler of the console, and wondered if there is some kind of adaptor to make a two cupholder, or cover it.

Also, the 2 cupholder in the rear is useless. It is more like a cup launcher than a cupholder. Are there any inserts, or similar items to make those workable?

Thanks,

Will

I remember one guy on here made a carbon fiber overlay for his console and covered his cupholder. I like mine though, I cant imagine life without it!

I use it as a place for coins. It's useless as a cupholder for an M6 car.

The only time I use the cupholder is when I go to dog N suds (kinda like a sonics) but the mugs of rootbeer fit in the cupholder perfectly esp with the handle cut out it has..
But with the short throw I use the pull out one under the HVAC controls.

I only use the one that pulls out of the console as well. The two in the back allow just about everything to tip over, and I have an M6 so the middle one is no good except for a cell phone or some random knick knacks.

the one on the passenger door panel works well too, but I don't know why they didn't put one on the driver's side.

I guess I need to look for the one that pulls out of the console, or the one that pulls out below the AC. I've had the car since December and I never knew they were there! Wonder what else I am missing?
