It is the heater delete center console (wanted more storage and no leaks), and its actually a cup holder from a Dodge Durango grafted in to the change tray on the Toyota center console. Im super happy having a decent sized cup holder now.

Looks pretty clean. Mind detailing how you went about doing this?

Took my time with the Dremel till i had the bottom of the change tray removed and parts of the sides that pinched the cup holder. took a razor blade to trim down the cup holder sides and bottom of the lip on it. Filled in the gaps with epoxy, sanded smooth for a clean look then dyed black for a uniform finish.
only really took me about 3 hours to complete it, took about two weeks to get all the parts off ebay.

Oh man. I need to do this! Toyota was NOT thinking when they designed these cup holders... The size is fine, for me it's the stability that is the issue.. good think I can drive with only one hand on the wheel.....

Thanks, Droidabuser!
Exactly, Gevo.
Mine's (1986 first-gen) making slow progress... (here)
Need to learn Fiberglas work, if I were to make it look pretty.

Also, I have the rear heater which I leave the valve for it cracked open just a tad bit so the antifreeze doesn't sit in the core and eventually harden and clog up like it was before.... which means that area gets pretty warm.... I guess some insulation would help if i get to it.

Nice! Except, putting an open mug in the cup holder.. I imagine you can't really drive that way??

My sound-proofing post shows insulation used on tranny hump, etc.
