If you don't want to upgrade to a 97+ style console (with 4 cup holders) I would get this one:



Folding Cup Holder

and mount it to the left side of the cassete holder (that big *** empty square of plastic in front of your shifter, it also has the cig lighter).

This way when you aren't using it the cupholder folds up and just looks like it's a part of the car (black square plastic).

especially if you dont have a centerconole lid.... in my old camaro (95) the console lid was missing when i got the car so the cupholder that was there was completly useless (well not completly it held my stereo remote quite nicely) but drinks would just tip back under the slightest acceleration... so me being a genious bought a cupholder from wal-mart (held 2 drinks and had a small section in between the drinks i used to hold my cell phone.. i had to do a little trimming to get it to fit) i was going to buy a new lid but they are kinda pricey.. im sure you could put a cupholder in there but then the lid would have to be flipped up and might look a little tackey
