Cup Holder Mod

Has anybody done this cup holder mod?

That is from an ef hatchback.

All you need is a 92-95 Ford Taurus or 92-95 Mercury Sable Cup holder/Coin Holder, and an ef Center Console.
You put the cup and coin holder where the radio is and the radio where the equalizer would be on usdm center consoles. You can also cut the edm center consoles to make it fit.

This is how it looks like opened.

To make it fit where the radio is you need to take out the radio. Then you need to use a dremel to cut these corners off, there are 4.

Then you have to cut out the clip on the bottom.

Then it will slide in and the clips on the side will hold it.
These clips will hold it.

It looks great and almost like it came with the car.
I don't know how to put the radio in the center console though. I guess it will just slide in where the equalizer use to be.
I plan to do this in the future. I already got the cup holder for free from Pull and Save.

    Were there any cons about the cup holder/coin holder?

    It looks very close to the shifter, is there any interference when driving? looks like anything bigger that a small cup and you're going to punch it when you shift.

    Naytontech.com has a sedan/hatch cup holder he is selling. He's also working on a wagon specific version that sounds like it'll be available soon.
