Default best cup holder money can buy

Just got Genos garage cup smoothie. I love it. No more medium size dunkin donuts coffees jumping out of the factory cup holder at the first bump I run over leaving the drive through.

Also got a Sony Explode CD receiver from Crutchfield. $119 including shipping &the installation kit.

Detailed Description The headline reads "CUP HOLDER IMPROVES FUEL MILEAGE BY 5 PERCENT." The audience comments, "Now I’ve heard it all." While the mileage savings may be fictitious, the Cup-Smoothie (for five- and six-speed owners) will reinforce smooth gear shift changes. And smooth gear changes with a smooth right throttle foot will net better mileage. Hence, the "Smoothie" title for our product. For automatic owners there is not a gearshift lever/cup holder close fit, thus no outlandish mileage comments. The console mounted cup holder is form fitted to the inside diameters of the console. Using a 1" x 6" Velcro strip, the cup holder attaches to the inside of the console. Extend the console closing latch by turning the latch counterclockwise, close the console door and you’ve instantly increased storage and cup holding capacity of your truck. Cup wells are 4" deep. The upper 3 3/4" diameter. The lower 2 3/4" diameter. Has slot for coffee mug handle. '98-'02 Cup Smoothie

Does your Ram not have the things that you fold in around the cups? I love my cup holder that came in my Ram. Best cupholder I've ever seen in a vehicle.

the stock cupholders in the rams are ok.. but man i spit ALOT when i have a lipper in and bending over 30 times a minuit reaching for that spitter got old really quick

it attached onto the inside lip of your center console.. open the lid.. and sit it in.. and you have to adjust the striker to latch the lip back down..notice in the pick.. on the oposite end of the actual cup holder is a notched outrectangle.. that goes over thestriker latch that the lid of the arm rest hits,, and the rest of it contours to the firsttwo inches of the inside of the compartment of the arm rest.. doesnttake away any room either.. sticks flush and snug...and when installed properly .. it will stay put if you need to raise the armrest and use the center seat... be advised,,, remove refreshments beforehand..

Anyone got any pictures? I still can't figure out how it would mount? Are you mounting it on the door arm rest?
