I agree...besides, it isn't worth tearing up your dash for.

You have to get rid of the radio or hvac controls to get the Taurus cup/coin holder in.

I think that I will just stick with the little plastic job that hooks onto the top of the door .

Yeah, I thought I'd be clever and get that thing out of the Taurus. Since I wasn't using the equalizer I took that out and quickly discovered....well, the coin/cup holder is on a shelf in my garage. I just use the passenger seat as my coffee table. Sometimes I use the plastic job for the door like Jim does. I held a can of Diet Pepsi between my thighs once and it spilled a little. It was hard to explain that I didn't really pee my pants.

I think the best alternative is to have a hole cut into the center flipup consule between the seats. Put a couple of those plastic drop in ones right there. Similar to the ones in the mustang. It will look stock.
