Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods "New" Style Cup Holders Question

Will the console from the 98-on cars fit the 95-97 cars. I'd love to have dual cup holders again After one of the original, flimsy duals broke, I replaced them with the single "heavy duty" one. The parts guy at the local dealer looked at the prices for the holder and bezel ($61.38 and $8.20) and said "that's too much!" He sold them to me for $49.72 and $6.64.

That's still a lot for a cupholder!

$27?! Man, I got mine for like $12 from my local Ford parts department, awhile back.. Did the prices jump up all of a sudden? Guess the guy I sold mine to for $7 got a good deal

Luxury,

Try Bill Jenkins when he gets organized in his new dealership. He should be up and running sometime this month.

Hey-
I just purchased an 98 SVT (CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT!!! Should be here the week after next, ebay purchase) and one of the things I can't find ANY information on is cup holders! Does it come with any? If not, can you get them?

Congratulations! Welcome aboard.

Yes, your car comes with cup holders, well, sort of. They are not very good. You can easily upgrade to the 2000 style with a kit from the dealer. It runs about $25.00. The cupholders are moulded into the front of the consol, right under the radio. The kit makes the holders deeper and much more usable. I made the upgrade on my car and it is much more useful.
