Worthless dashboard cup holders

Worthless dashboard cup holders - transformed!!!

I've been disappointed with the dash board cup holders since I first tried to use them. The angle of the dash meant a cup with any size to it would rub and mark up the dash so it's been sitting there as wasted space for the past nine months. I started trying to figure out what I could to to get some use out of that space and I had an idea. Took me some time to buy another setup to experiment with (keeping the original to put it back to stock when desired) but I got one a few weeks ago and have been tinkering around. I don't leave home without a handgun and have been putting my J frame into the armrest console but that's not the most convenient/quickest way to get to it so This is what I came up with.

Not thrilled with the way it came out but I've always been better at conception than finished product. It's functional, looks normal to the unknowing and allows for quick access so overall I'm pleased with how it came out. I may try to clean it up and make it look a bit better at some point but I'll be moving on to other projects for now (installing my Bilsteins and overhead console).

I think it's really cool. Almost James Bond like! You just need an automatic quick release button.
Good job man!

Looks good to me man. It's a shame that's a Glock in there though. Lol

Don't start busting on my Glocks man! They've served me very well for the past 18 years!!

Summer down buddy. No harm meant. Just a friendly joke. They just ain't my cup of tea in the gun world.

I really like that. I'm going to try to step it up one with a lock so the kids don't play with it when I run into the store or something.

Not upset in the least, it was taken as intended friend.

That is bad ass. Luckily for me the 14s already have a spot like that so I don't have to mod anything but like disturbed said it would be nice to put some sort of lock on it. Nice work man

I like it, but I have a center console in the way. No lock needed either. Thatll only get you killed if you need it and its locked? Same mentality with the safety on the Glock, there aint one, am Im glad its that way. Nice job on the mod.

 

[MPG LOL]

dont have any guns yet but thats a great little mod there.

 

[BlkExpress]

nice mod!!!!!!!!!

 

[WhiteExpress]

That's neat!

Ya know if you just bought a model with the center console, your cup holders would have worked just fine.

 

[Phylodog]

The model I want/bought doesn't come with a console.

So do we, the two step rule is about as real the skunk ape.

Nice setup BTW, very creative.
