Greetings R'Listers. I have to install cupholders in my 2000 996 before I get divorced over it. So, the question is my rearrangement plan. I will remove the CD tray and the equalizer thing from the bottom. I will then move the air con control to the bottom slot where the equalizer thingy is. Question for the slot where the CD tray was: Do I need a lower cubby or upper cubby? Also, are there any trim pieces that I may need to source? This is a pic of my current configuration just for reference.

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.

Why not try something like this. Haven't tried it, but looks somewhat invisible and easy. http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/ search "cup holder" in this forum and there will be a ton more options/opinions. good luck!
If you're gonna divorce over cup holders, might as well get it over with.... The IMS will def put the marriage under.
Get the upper cubby if you place it in the CD spot. You will need a different trim piece for the cupholder when placed in the spot where your HVAC control now lives. Your current trim is rectangular. You new trim will have a mild triangular taper to match the cupholder if I recall ( I did the console delete a while back). Bought my trim pieces on Ebay. Believe the cubby can be purchased new from Suncoast or Sunset. You may look for trim pieces there as well.

I have those... they are loose and "dance around". Practical but not cool...
upper post pics of your final product.....
Yep, I would go with the divorce now. Forget the cup holders and go with a nice new suspension or some Cargraphic mufflers, or some new wheels, or, or, or........:-)
I forgot to add when I removed the cupholders during the console delete, I got a floor cup holder from Autozone. Much more secure and handles most cup sizes.
Thanks for the advice guys. Upper cubby it is. I am married to a highly successful divorce attorney so no matter what I do, I cant win. I stipulate alot!!
Don't argue with your wife, dicker!

yeah, your screwed. get the cupholder.... Or you can get a mk2.
I used these and was very happy - much easier solution than moving things around and they were very secure. http://www.eagleday.com/9962.html

I forgot about those. They may be a very viable option.
This Autozone cup holder is very stable on the floor. Easy to reach. The mug will not fall over or break off the vent. I believe it was less than $20 and matches my gray interior. http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znet...-CHAR/image/4/
That cupholder would look great next to these:

Ok, I have ordered the necessary bits I need for this anti-divorce cupholder deal. First off, Suncoast Porsche is an absolute pleasure to deal with and the prices are spot on. The plan is to move A/C to botttom, remove CD tray and place the two cupholder deal in top slot above radio. Now a question. I have that crappy DSP thing in the bottom slot. If I decide to not use it a as a boat anchor, will it fit where the CD tray was? Line up would be: Cupholder, Radio, DSP, AC. I ordered the upper cubby in case I cant move the DSP thingy. Oh, the wife vetoed the vent cupholders even though that was my choice. She also vetoed the MK2 just to get cupholders. Thanks for all of the help guys!
yes the dsp will fit under the radio....
Thanks Ferdinand!
