What's really funny is I just checked eBay and Oklahoma Foreign is selling USED lower shelves for the same price as new.

I have the stock cupholders above the radio (where your HVAC is), and honestly, I wouldn't recommend installing them there or anywhere in the center console.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am doing a few off season upgrades while the 996 sits in the garage. I just installed my Lloyd mats, clear corners, now onto my in-dash cup holders. I have a quick question before I begin.. Here is my current setup in my dash.
Vents
HVAC
Radio
CD holders
Empty area (sunglasses)
Is there a way I could do this:
Vents
Cup holders
Radio
HVAC
Empty Area
I've seen people do this:
Vents
Cup Holder
Radio
Empty Area
HVAC
Is everything pretty much mix and match? It looks like the empty area has a bit more narrow shape compared to the HVAC. Thanks for the help.
yeah i'm pretty sure my cupholders are under my vents... above my radio... because the A/C keeps my drinks cold .. hehe
lets see if this link works...

I have the stock cupholders above the radio (where your HVAC is), and honestly, I wouldn't recommend installing them there or anywhere in the center console. They are too flimsy for anything but a small coffee, and if you spill (which will happen at some point), guess where the liquid is going to end up? That's right, all over your radio and HVAC system. Its a recipe for disaster.
Get one of these instead.

Either way you are looking at a compromise. Personally I'd choose the one that doesn't have the potential to trash the electronics in my car. The choice is yours.
If you could place the cup-holders in the space where your CD trays are, that could be a good way around the potential of dripping / spilling over your electronics, BUT, that lower section of the center console is tilted back slightly (ie: not level).
Here's one more option to consider.

I had a Mk I 996 and got these:
http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/9962.html
They are oem Porsche cupholders that clip into 3 little holes in the air vents - there is a different one for each side so be sure to order one of each. They worked great and don't hang the drinks over any electronics.
I like them in my Boxster but newer models (not sure of the cutover date) eliminated the holes in the vent housings so not everybody can use these. The down side is that they will only hold a can or water bottle - the smaller the better - and they seem a bit fragile.
How do you get your foot that close to the seat?
Put the Ultimate cup holder on the passenger side. I have two in my car the one on the drivers side holds a 10oz water under my knee, it never gets in the way. If I have a large drink I put it on the passenger's side.
+1 for the ultimate cup holder on the passenger side. If I put a tall travel mug in there, it ends up being very convenient, just within reach to the right of the shift ****.
I just installed by in-dash cup holders. They seem pretty decent. I dont see anything dripping down on the electronics because the bottom of the cupholder is closed. They seem to be an upgraded model of the holders in my Audi. I just wish i could have replaced the silly CD holder instead of my empty tray. Too bad the HVAC didn't fit in that space.
I guess because you are MK1 your cupholders are different than mine.. yours are 2 separate pop-outs right? The ones in ours are not closed on the bottom so they can leak.. but they will not leak onto the electronics (or at least they don't for me) because they are popped away from it. I have leaked condensation from cups or spilled hot coffee, haha, and it drips way back onto the shifter.. ie. my hand.. not the electronics, lol.
And yes, I hate the CD holder too.. i need to get the empty tray.. that thing is a waste of space.. You should get the surround for the HVAC for the bottom.
Just select which you want via the little radio button on the page.
Price seems to have gone up as I recall paying about $20 or so. Granted it was a looooooong time ago.
What's really funny is I just checked eBay and Oklahoma Foreign is selling USED lower shelves for the same price as new.
Those in dash cup holders seem to position the beverage above window level. Not good for local law enforcement. Guess you have to put the beverage in a red solo cup. The law can't see through them.
You put your foot on the gas pedal ---- I got my color coordinated cup holder at Wally World for a whole 99 cents. Just becareful when shutting the door.

Here is one I have been working on. This one is the prototype and I have yet to install....
I will post when I am finished with it and its installed... When I am done with this prototype would
someone else like it? Its going to be pretty worn out. But Im sure it will still have a
few miles left to give you. The problem I am trying to over come is the constant Whine.
