I have a 01 TL and I was just reading alot of the post and I have noticed numerous peps sayin they upgraded there 99 and 00 cupholders to 01. Whats the difference got a pic of the 99 or 00 cupholder.

 

i think the difference is that in the 99-00 you can remove the cup holder and in the 01 it's stuck on.

 

no the newer cupholder has deeper wells so it holds your beverages better. I switched mine, works a ton better, id definitely reccomend it.

 

The new cupholders are the #$%*. They hold the beverage alot better. Worth the cash.

 

The 2001 plastic insert cup holder is deeper than 99-00 model.
Its was well worth the money I spent.

 

O ok. I thought there was big differ.

 

dnd2984 there is a HUGE difference in how well they hold your drinks... if thats not enough of a difference for you I dont know what you're looking for

 

deeper -- lol i can hold a spring water bottle too yaya

 

How much does it cost to convert a 99 cupholders to a 01? I'm interested in it.

 

I think like $9 or $10 at the dealership.

 

I think that's cheapest Mod I can think of.

 

yep, I love my 02 cup holder...

 

I like the little space under the cup holder in the 01.. I use it to hide a special tool of mine..

 

Hey, do any of you guys know how deep the 2001 cup holders are? I have a 2000, and I really don't like how shallow the cup holders are, but I don't know if it's the 2000 or 2001 cup holder. Thanks.

 

99-00 have the crappy shallow cup holds where you can remove one of the buttom pieces, the 01+ cup holds is a one piece and deeper cup holder. I was sick of having my drinks spilling everywhere, so I upgarded. Tim has it for sale in his Accessories section on this website or you can ask the dealer for it. Only modification you need to do to make if fit 99-00 TL is to trim off two little tabs to make it settle in right.

 

how hard is it to trim the tabs? got pics of the trimmed area?

 

it's easy as pie...

 

its just two little plastic tabs, you can file it down.

 

I can think of a few that are cheaper.

Rustoleum treatment


Fried egg taillight removal


Chrome shift plate

 

I can tell you are soooo jealous.

 

Woops, sorry Paul. I must have hit edit instead of quote. I knew it looked weird.

 

Thanks, guys!! I'll take a look at the filing when I get the new cup holders, and if I have questions, I'll ask you guys.

 

Interesting.. any part numbers for this mod??

 

I believe its Part#56073, the 99-00 are #56072......check with your local dealer please.

 

The 2 plastic tabs can be clipped off with a toenail clipper this is what I did. Others have used small hobby knife its very easy & takes a few seconds.

I can think of an even cheaper mod:

The fog light mod to use fogs while parking lights are on.

 

HOLY ANCIENT THREAD

 

Do the cupholders fit snuggly in everyone's 2000TL? I just installed mine, and it seems to be sitting very loosely, and occasionally the cupholder door rubs against the cupholder unit and doesn't open. I clipped the two tabs on the front. Are there others? Thanks.

 

Mine does. You just have to push it in and after awhile it will stop making the cup holder unit from opening.

 

That's alright, Neil. But I was thinking....what did I do wrong here.
