    Would you be able to make a parchment colored one? This is the cup holder design I always wanted but could never find D:

    If you need, I can send you strips of parchment vinyl from my old door panels Im junking. I would kill for a cup holder thats a perfect match.

    I bought three of the e30 cupholders on r3v and they shipped out fast and are quality items. Don't mind the sellers low post count, he's legit, buy with confidence.

    This is going to sound stupid but what are the specs on this thing? Mainly, is the diameter of this the same as the stock cupholders that latch onto the center console by the shift knob?

    The body is approx 4" wide by 9" long and 2.5" high, the cup inserts internal diameter is approx 2.75"

    I also have larger inserts that I use on the e30 front console holders I make. I couldn't use them on this one because it would make it too wide where it would start to get to close to the ebrake and passenger seat.

    Nice thing about this one is that it doesn't get in the way of the front passengers legs. Where the other style cup holders that go in the front would have your leg leaning against it if you're in the passenger seat.

    I have sample books with a wide range of colors if I could get a small sample I can match it to a color in my book.

    I found a dove grey in my book which also happened to be called dove grey, I have tan and I have a couple shades of parchment I'm awaiting a sample to arrive to match up to the parchment.

    If you have a small sample of another color you can send I can try to match it up.

    Probably in the new year I'll start offering these in other colors if there's enough interest. I have to buy a minimum run of material from the suppliers so I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of material to make one holder.

    If you are going to start making them in different colors after the 1st of the year, then I might just wait and see what other colors you are going to offer before I order.

    Recieved mine a couple of days ago and put it in yesterday. Looks real nice and seems sturdy. Have not had a chance to put any drinks in it yeat, but it seems to be the nicest one i have seen. Thanks for the fast shipping.
