I have been contemplating/working on this project for a while now. There just didn't seem to be a good place to put my AudioControl Four.1. I didn't want to give up my "Not an Ashtray," so I had just wedged the EQ between the seat and console. Not a very good solution.


So, I bought the cupholder from the 6 speed.



Making the EQ fit was a little tricky...



But getting the new cupholder to fit in the existing console was the real trick. The new cupholder is much deeper than the original.



So I had to cut out a shitload of plastic with my dremmel.



Here are some of the left over pieces.



But, with some modification, I made it fit.



And then the EQ just slides right in. I used a cutout from a piece of rubber baseboard I picked up at Home Depot to make the small piece that fits around the EQ.






Now it looks great!




I'm so happy my Four.1 finally has a permanent home. And I can access the back seat without worrying about it too! Mission accomplished.

 

Nice work bro, that's seems like something I would have done. I'll post pics of my project, but I'm too lazy to go to the car and get my camera.

 

 

nice ... how is the 03 cup holder? Is this smaller than the 01-02?

 

how much did you get the 6 speed cup holder for?

 

It was around $120. My local dealer gives $50 credit for every Acura Customer survey you return, and I used 2 to get this for free.

 

J
you finaly did it!
It looks sweet. great job!

 

Noice!!!!!

 

did u have that piece around the eq custom, and where did you get it done.

 

I just used some black rubber baseboard material I picked up at Home Depot. I then I used the Dremel to cut it to shape. It turned out pretty good actually, at least as good as getting a piece of plastic cut by a shop for $$$. I like my $1.50 solution better.

Here's the product, except black.

 

Excellent custom job....nice and neat!!!

 

you and your dremel! OK, I need you to fabricate a some kind of body kit for my car with your dremel and some duct tape and a tooth pick.

 

wow that shit looks nice,
esp the night shot
