Both my cup holders are broken. I was thinking of taking the whole thing out and putting in an accessory bracket of some sort. I'd have to make it myself but it'd be worth it.
I like those in dash cup holders. I have the 99+ center console upgrade and I still use the in dash to hold drinks more. I have a 5speed so tall drinks or straws get in the way if they are in the console holders.
Life proof case is awesome. Haven't "needed" it yet, but it's an insurance policy lol. I'm just waiting for a car mount that is issuable with it.
And the idle is low because the tachometer is from a v6 and I have a i4. Something I didn't know about when getting a replacement. Engine normally idles between 692 - 710rpms
