Just so that everyone knows, the pop out cupholder from a 1995 Ford Taurus fits in the DIN spot below a single DIN stereo in the L300. Very little modification to the cup holder (plastic trimming) is required. Looks totally stock and works great!

I'm tired of my aftermarket 'dixie cup' holders on my truck dash.

Here's some crappy photos I just took with my not so good camera. There are 2 pop out trays, one for cups and one for coins. I think it looks pretty good.

Sorry, I don't know how to resize my photos or add them to this forum. I'm a newbie. If anyone can give me very precise instructions that would be great!!

Thanks for the tip! Currently my girl friend serves this function so I'm sure she'll be thrilled to have this installed.

Very nice! Looks like it was meant to be there. I have a under audio deck shelf taken from my old Suzuki sidekick, but this rocks compared to it!

Are there any auto salvage places you can go to scour for parts like this in Victoria or surrounding area?
