I shaved mine and stuck Sirius in it. If I used the cup holder it got in the way of shifting, so I only use the two rear ones.

Wouldnt it be the top secret 4th cup holder? I only use the ones in the back or the hidden one. The main one in the console is in the way of my shifting arm.

I use mine for one of those circle air freshners, fits perfectly. I also use it to hold my MP3 player, or loose change.

I use my middle cup holder but I don’t really care for its location and the flip out one tends to tip or spill drinks, I don’t even try the rear cup holders.

Kraaazymike: Your custom job looks great!! I’d like to know how/what you used to do the job…please pm me I would like to do something similar, thanks!

I use the flip out one all the time. The center one is useless, except for a cell phone holder.

I use the passenger side cupholder, but only with the plastic Coke bottles with the screw on caps. The console cupholder is for candy wrappers and my cell phone.

Same here, the hidden in the passenger side is for bottled water only, nothing but water is allowed!

I only use the top secret one, cause the middle one gets in the way of my shifting. Back ones are too shallow, so i don't use them either cause drinks tip over easily.

I was like "hell yeah" when i found out about the top secret one, about a week or two after i got my car.
