Bhicks- I have a guy in Tustin who's willing to let you have your way with a 1990 4wd auto. If that could work I can get it going.

I'm heading out to Huntington Beach to pick up a car for my wife right now. I will be going right through Tustin. Have your buddy call me. I can meet him on my way out or on my way back. Probably be around 2:30 on the way out or 5:00pm on the way back. (9O9) 2three8-3333

Well... your buddy doesn't need to call me. I was just pumping gas getting ready to head out to Huntington Beach and a 2nd gen 4 wheel drive Auto pulled up right next to me. I walked over to the guy and told him the project I was working on. He seemed happy and excited about it. Gave me access to his car for about five minutes. I got all the pictures and dimensions I needed. Fitment was 99% perfect I just need to make a couple tiny little tweaks. Going to make those today. I will have pictures of this prototype installed this evening when I get back. The good news is that he is local. He gave me his address and phone number. I now have access to it for final fitment of the final design. Should be within the next couple days.

Sounds good, hope to have my new cup-holder(s) soon (4wheel-auto)

So here is a pic of prototype 3.0 installed. Please understand that I print my prototype in thick layers at high speed. I don't make them to look pretty. I make them for fitment purposes only. The final version will be done with much thinner layers and slower speeds for a smoother look. I already made the needed changes and have version 4.0 already printing. I forgot to mention; this 2nd gen is the true definition of a POS. It is on the rough side of beat to hell.

Looking forward to seeing 4.0

Is your price point going to be similar to your other models?

Test fit 4.0 yesterday and it was 99% perfect. I had one tiny change needed which I already made. Version 5.0 is now printing. Fingers crossed that this one will be perfect.

Price point will be the same as the 3rd Gen cup holders.

So I got version 5.0 test fit today. It fit onto the console perfectly and had zero clearance or interference issues. My only issue was when I went to actually stick it on the the strips of 3M adhesive and then screw it on with the 3 self tapers. I realized that my angles for the screw holes could be improved upon for increased stability. I decided to make some subtle changes to how the screws go in. I already made those changes and got the final version printing. Version 5.0 does work and fit great but it had more movement than I would like. 6.0 should be very stable. Here is what 5.0 looks like installed.
