Check it out. Last week someone mentioned that you can get cup holders out of a 87-94 Ford Taurus/Mecury Sable and they will fit in the 1/4 Din panel below our Stereos. Well I went to the junk yard and got two. Now one is in my car.
Below are some links to the pics, sorry I don’t have anywhere that I can host them from. It looks really clean and there isn’t really a clearence issue with the shifter. 5th gear is as close as the shifter will get with the cup holders all the way out, and there is about a 1/4 inch gap.
I have yet to put cups in there since I just got it in about an hour ago and I’m at work;) . Its really stable though and I’m sure that it will hold things just fine.
I’ve got a second one with out the coin tray if anyone is intereset.
Wow definately worth considering. Would be cooler if it didn’t have the writing, but I suppose it shouldn’t be a big deal removing it. Thanks for the heads up!
This should be ARCHIVED… Here’s the flag: “ARCHIVE THIS”
How big a cup do you think you could put in those? Just 12oz cans or biggie sized drinks? Looks really good BTW! Almost OEM. Well, it is OEM but I mean OEM for the g2. I’m done now…
Here is the one with out the coin tray. And it doesn’t have the little things that come down under the one in my car. I may be able to get more…if anyone wants me to.
$20 each. Gotta make up for the time I spend searching for these hard to find items.
There is a peice on the underside that you have to shave off ane make it flush. Its a bracket that is used for mounting in the Fords, but its not need in our cars and it gets in the way too. 5 minute job.

I would say a Large McDonalds cup. But again, I haven’t had a chance to try it out.

Its just a sticker, peal it off and some Goo Gone should work. If you’re talking about “Cup Holder” and “Coin Tray”…just some really crazy cleaner and elbow grease should work.
I think it was an 89. It seemed like the cup holders only came in the higher modles of Taurus (if there is such a thing;) ). 90% of the taurus’s there didn’t have this.
Did u have to removie the bottom din? cause ihave a kit that hold my stereo , and the kit comes with a replacement din below the stereo that’s connect to the top part that holds the stereo so i can’t take out the bottom pocket, will that be a problem?

Yes I took out the bottom DIN. My stereo sits fine ontop of it. They both fit in so tight that they hold eachother in place VERY well.
