OEM CUPHOLDER unit for 91-92??

enigma · 03-13-03, 03:54 PM

is there something like that for G2?? if yes, what's the part number?

not the cupholder in the armrest. the black "block" cupholder:

Yes there is. I have one of those in my 91 sedan. I don't know what the part # is though. I think they run about $20. The Acura dealership in my area used to stock those, so you might want to try one around you, or call Acura of Augusta. Honestly, those cupholders really don't work that well. They hold a 12-oz can of soda pretty snug but that's about it. My girlfriend once had a Mickie D's drink in mine, I took a not too sharp turn and the drink ended up all over her lap. Of course, I was more concerned with the drink spilling on my leather than on her which she wasn't too pleased about.

how deep is it? I can't really tell by looking at the pic.

Maybe about 1.5-2" tops.

This cupholder would make a better coin holder IMO

I don't think that the slide-out cupholders are that great either. They only hold one drink and besides, not much larger than a soda can. If you get one of those big cups with a slim bottom to fit in the hole, then you have a better chance. But I like to get soda in plastic bottles so I can screw the cap back on to prevent spilling but none of those fit in the holder. My wife's civic has TWO cupholders side by side that can manage cups/cans/bottles a whole lot better.

By the way, in that picture, is there also a sliding cup holder in the armrest??? Thing that make you go hmmmmm......

Here is my cupholder/cell phone holder. it works pretty well and matches the wood nicely.

Looks like the wood color is slightly off. Is it real wood? Also, what is it attached to? Your vent? Can you take a picture from the front. Does it hold one or two cups-I can't tell...

no its not real wood... its plastic. the color isn't a 100% match but its pretty close.

it's attached onto the vent and only holds one cup. but its adjustable to hold bigger or smaller cups. I bought it from a former member on here who bought it at a rice autoparts store for about $20 Canadian.

You can keep your cold drink cold and your hot drinks hot

Exactly! ^

What sucks though is when you have the heat on but are drinking a cold drink and it gets warm.

I don't have any pics from the top right now, but basically it slides out. you pull the wood/pastic part out towards you and it expands deeper. its pretty simple. It doesn't hold too heavy of drinks though because the clips on the vents will only hold so much weight before it falls off. I learned that the hard way with an iced cappachino once..

I think Acura made the 91's without cupholders for a reason though...they didn't want people drinking or eating in a $40K luxury car.
