Neat Cupholder Idea for Factory Seat Guys

Well, i think it's pretty neat. i just finished it tonight.

i used to have a ford seat that had a removable plastic cup holder. i really liked it, but i got rid of the seat. with the freshly rebuilt, reupholstered original front seat, i needed a replacement cupholder (yesterday i managed to catch an entire HOT 16 oz. cup of coffee using only my lap and my freshly reupholstered seat. it was originally sitting on that wonderful cupholder also known as the dashboard.) anyway, i went out tonight and grabbed one off the shelf, along with a few metal braces from Lowe's, and wound up with a pretty neat solution.

i got the cupholder from autozone. it's made by a local company, so i don't know what everyone's access might be. it's called the wedgie, (thanks orange) about $5.
then i picked up a pack of 3-1/2" x 3/4" angle braces and an 8" x 1" *i think* strap. the neat thing is that it was cheap, looks OK, and is removable.
