Cheap Bucket Seat Console Cupholder Idea

I looked all over for an idea and just couldn't come up with what I wanted and certainly didn't want to cut up an original bucket seat console. I looked at the other thread and liked the billet cup holders, but thought it would stick out too much and they are expensive, hard to get not to mention losing the seat belt holders. So I looked around the internet and found this for about $38 shipped. Made by Havis. Link below

I used the existing holes in the console that holds the top and bottom together. I just drilled a couple more holes in the location I desired on the black painted metal bracket that comes with the cup holders.

good idea since it re-uses the existing holes!

Great idea. I went with a cup holder console in my blazer but this makes sense if you want to keep it original.
