Being dissatisfied with the lack of place to hold a can of soda or coffee and possessing of a plethora of parts from various cars over the years I fabricated a cupholder. All you will need is a single din radio a Toyota aftermarket radio kit with the extra pocket a 4th generation VW Golf/Jetta Cupholder and some various filing grinding cutting tools and VOILA!









also heres a couple varios pics of my in progress stereo install....

Big Pimping Xtant Amp


Q Forms with Infinity Referance 6.5s


Also have a 10" sealed sub and a changer waiting to go in the drivers side rear.

 

looks good ... i not a fan of all that red one of toyotas great ideas

 

I love the 80s look.

 

is that button by the overdrive for the power antenna

 

yep my 84 has one

 

wow thats sweet found something cool i didint know wish they would of used it on 2nd and 3rd gens

 

thats pretty cool. it wont really work with a manual though.

 

I hope you don't splash liquid onto your faceplate.

 

I have the same HU!


nice!

 

Let's say someone like me has no clue what a 4th Gen Jetta is year wise? What years would that be?

 

My wife has a 2001 VW Jetta and it has that exact same cup holder.

 

Uhhh where did you get kickpanels for a first gen?

 

Actually they are for second gen I am fairly sure, even though Q forms says that are for 89' didnt toyota sell 1st and 2nd gen models concurrently in 1989? Anyways the fit is so close that is what they look like with no modifying. I am going to color match them with vinyl paint and do some minor trimming and fill in the space at the top with vinyl. Also I DID NOT have to move the ECU.

And 4th Generation Golf/Jetta would be 99-2004. the cupholder literally snapped into the metal mount brackets of the radio. a small 1/4 inch peice of wood will space it from the radio and hold it firm against the metal tabs on the bracks. the rest is trimming out the pocket and the trim ring and thr front of the cupholder. there is a flap/cover to remove and grind down the metal top and the corners a bit. easily figured out.

 

About time we saw some real fabrication on this board!

 

 

Yea I made my own after breaking my antenna on the trail.

 

saweeeeeeeeeet, I wish it'd work for a manual.

 

that's,.... well... awesome!

 

does Q form make those pannels for a 86 runner? ive been trying to find a way to get bigger speakers in the front and i cant find anything.

 

And a year later this thread is back form the dead and it's appropriate since it's Halloween.
