I lost my cup holder insert, the thing that goes in the front holder. Someone is selling it from a 2002, will it fit on a 2000?

Rhlieu

Yes it will! You can pick them up at the dealership for under $20 too, very worthwhile upgrade for 99-01 TL's other then the 02-03 tail lights/ 6 dics cd changer.

Eddystone

Wondering, whats the difference?

i've aways been told the CL-S inserts were the ones to go after..

Rhlieu

Hmmm...I switch them out a long time ago, but if my memory serves I believe the 02-03 have bigger diameter for larger drink capacity (I think the 32oz 7-11 stuff fits). And I believe they mod the design to keep the cups in place during harsh braking.

Eddystone

So are you saying a '02 will fit a '00 or not? I really only need the insert thingy because my drinks are spilling everywhere without it.

If I was to buy one at the dealership, which year is best that will fit for a '00?

hmm thats actually the problem with my 99 inserts..

they are so big that when i brake or give the car gas the drink flop all over the place..

one would think it would need to be smaller throughout to hold the drinks in place.

Rhlieu

Yes the 02-03 cup holder will fit the 99-01. It is a very simple snap on & off replacment (all 99-03 cupholders are the same size fitment, just different diameter in cup holder capacity).

I have stated the benfits of the 02-03 upgrade, so if you are going to pick up a new holder, why not upgrade to the better 02-03 ones?

Rhlieu

What are you drinking? I noramlly only have that problem if i am in need of a red bull or that starbucks triple shot tiny cans? But nomrally fast food places, I have never had one spill or flip out yet.

Hey do you have picture of that black vinyle roof cover? sounds interesting, wondering what it looks like, and those other upgrade on your sig are NICE!

How much and where?

Wonder what color would be nice on a black car? maybe white cover?

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

^^^ i would leave black the way it is.. dont think any color would really go better then the roof itself...

Rhlieu

Wow! That looked better then i would have guess. Who is the org orgin of these vinyl tops, because i have seen a couple Benz with the white with black roof top that i think are stock.

^^ alot of cars come stock with black roofs (painted)

Eddystone

You can get these done at a tint shop, I seen it on a car hood at a tint shop a few weeks ago. The owner wanted strips covering his hood scoop but the one I seen was more dull.

Buy the 02-03 holder insert. Holds the drinks MUCH better! I've got one in my 00 and it works great.

Go down to post 20 for side by side

Eddystone

Thanks, thats exactly what I needed.

note that you need to remove the little tabs from the front of the 02-03 cupholder. it's a 30 second job with a hacksaw but without it the insert won't seat properly, doors won't close right over it, etc.

No I seen the post that someone said its about $5, I was asking if Honda had this part because Honda is usually alittle cheaper.

BlackuraTL

Rockstar21

Eddystone

Here in Canada, its $11.31+tax at Acura. I called Honda and they said they have to order from Acura and its going to be $10+tax.

acutee

Nice vinyl black roof you have there.

Severin

ok i'll send you cupholder for cheap if you send me A-spec interior stuff from canada.. =)

Eddystone

I already bought it at Honda but what A-spec interior stuff? curious

Eddystone

Had to cut the tabs in front and near the back to have a snug fit. Great upgrade.

Rockstar21

the seats have color inserts.. stitching is colored as well....

i'll find a pic... also the a-specs had color matched door handles and headlights

oh and the swap thing was a joke..

with a little bit of filing the new cupholder fits almost perfectly. looks like it'll do the job much better than the original one from 1999
