Default Better cup holder?
What's up guys I have a problem I think all of you can relate to. Whenever I have a drink in my cupholder, the cup moves around everytime I hit a bump and spills everywhere. Does anyone have a good way to stabilize my cupholder and solve this annoying problem?

I have a 2000 es and I don't have that issue... but maybe you could attach some thin foam to the inside so that it applies pressure to the cup and holds it in place. Just a tought

^I like his idea. Or you could attach a large pipe-shaped object to the top of the cupholder, to act as a "fence" around the cup. Sounds stupid but it's an idea.

There is no cup holders in our ES, no cup holders no spills, no garbage left behind, hold your own cup and make sure you take it with you when you exit the car.
