So right now i usually just take off a shoe and stick my drink in that... But i saw a thread using a taurus cupholder and sticking it in the ashtray spot? i dont know if its for DA tegs because it fits two drinks and i think that may be to big for just the ashtray spot... anyways i just wanna know what everyone does with thier drinks?
thanks

 

You're mixing it up, you can either:

1) get a Taurus cup holder (has 2 holes) and with a little drilling you can mount it below the radio.

2) buy the OEM honda cup holder setup

3) Buy RUBBERQUEEN PART NO 5121 at Pep Boys, this is a single cup holder with a tab on the back, which fits into the ashtray and kind of clicks into place. Only $2.99

I went with #3 for now

There are also some aftermarket armrests that have built in drink holders

 

Well ****, i cant do #1 cuz the cd player din thing isnt normal, it has some thing so you can put two cd's with cases in there... what is the #2 option?

 

ash tray oem cup holder
i got one but it sux it doesnt hold em right if i put like a can of soda it falls down
i think the person that sold it to me cuted it up and now is sux!

rubberqueen seems the best option!

 

i guess ill just keep a spare shoe in my car till i find the rubberqueen... is pepboys the only place with it? i think kragen, autozone, and monument are really the only ones i can think of near my house

 

The OEM cup holder is $14 on http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org, I think it also slides in the ash tray but is beefier than the rubberqueen one. The rubberqueen works fine for me, I think if you have a narrow drink then it might fall toward you occasionally, so you may want to tape the front of the cupholder so it isn't as flimsy. But it works well for $2.99 and looks relatively normal in that spot.


Pep Boys sells it in gray, but you can see where there is a space in the holder that could allow the drink to move toward you a bit. The part they have pictured hanging over the door is the part I stuck in the ashtray.

here's a thread from g2ic showing the taurus cup holder and explaining how to do it.

I am pretty sure Kragen carries it as well, as well as Advance and Autozone - I guess Rubberqueen is a well known cup holder company. Also, online you can buy it from Auto Barn or something.

 

Are there any pics of the oem cupholder? it doesnt have it on that site, not sure if im gonna go with that or just the rubbaqueen

 

Tegs were made to drive not to hold drinks!

WHAT??? you mean this thing is used to drive around? i thought they were just driveway ornaments and drinkholders

 

I usually drive with a passenger so I make then hold my drinks But, when i drive alone I leave my drinks between my seat and emergency brake. It doesn't seem safe but i havn't had a problem doing that so far.

 

buy drinks in bottles? works for me

Sweet...but what if you're taking 'chick' somewhere?

 

i have the optional armrest w/ cupholders from a dealership. you can get them used off g2ic.com pretty often. i never use my armrest cupholders cause i'd rather rest my arm on it. i wedge my drink in between the e-brake and the seat, passenger see's me do it and does the same. this method (i used method describing this subject ) works really well w/ cans. whenever i use like a 20 oz drink from a fast food joint, i have to hold onto the cup whenever i brake hard or have to make a turn hard or else it tips over. thats my way of doing things...

 

between the seat and ebrake works really good.

 

what the h@ll is a cupholder....lol

 

I've got a collapsible Razo cupholder that you attach at the vents. When its folded you can use it to hold small items like a cell phone and when you fold it out it fits cups.

 

OEM DA center console with small storage compartment and 2 cup holders. Sits over the e-brake between the seats, but the openings for the cups are not very big. They kind of suck if you have anything larger than a md/lg drink. They fit fine for the smaller drinks, the part that bothers me is it won't fit a 16+oz MountainDew bottle.

I did the exact same thing when i had my DA seems to work most of the time

 

you can always open up the glove box and use those ghetto-*** "holders"

That's exactly what happens in my car, just sometimes when there is all sorts of stuff in there I hope that I don't have to pull the e-brake at any time. Depending on what kind of drink it is too (like a gatorade) it can make a pretty decent armrest as well.

 

I found these pics... Taurus cupholders in a DA.

 

I used to think that was a cool idea, I even got the cupholder/coin tray from the junkyard, but look at how damn ugly it is... I was about to put it in but the more I looked at it, the more I figured I could deal with the space between the seat and e-brake...

I guess I just like the appearance too much, but it would bother me to have that in my dash. That's my .02
