Ill let you guys know how well it turns out when it arrives. Looks like it is going to be hand made.
Im taking a gamble here but i could really use a cup holder in my car and i dont want some cheap plastic holders bolted into the door.

Im sure you could, but I am terrible with wood work so for $75 shipped I would rather save myself the hassle and pay someone else to do it.

I checked this morning and there were no markings/numbers on them of any kind. They look to me like ones you pick up at an autopart to replace the ones in a car with cup holders

03-16-2012, 11:55 PM #18I spoke to the seller via eBay email and he gave me his email in case anyone wanted to buy one from him. He says he can do any kind of custom work to match the car and he is willing to resize the wood if it dosnt fit.
