Mid-America offers one that mounts to the side trim panels. The console trim plate hold's it in place.(black only), No screw's or bolting required for easy on or off.

AirTrafficControler, I was planning on doing that myself when I get to the interior over the winter. Nice to see it works without issue.

There was a gentleman here on the forum who sold fold up cup holders that fit under the side of the console with no screws or damage of any kind and they folded up in a closed position when not in use.
$25.00 and they were the same exact ones used in a Mercedes; excellent quality and could be moved from car to car with no hassle.
I forgot his name but maybe he will chime in

No, i did it myself but i took the model from the wood grain on that i've seen in the catalog. It made of thin aluminium with a plastic core. It very light and very strong. We use that for outdoor sign.

I guess sad enough that there are a total of 48 replies shared between them...

Anyway, was it not obvisous that the lad made a mistake...
