I have looked at over 20 cars at several wrecking yards and all are either missing the cup holders or are broken. Also anyone notice how the newer ones have the cup holders farther forward towards the radio and not pop-ups? They are similar to 95-99 neon holders.

Now if only i could make parts for myself... bad back.. bad legs, neck pain....
