A simple cupholder mod for the GE
Ok guys, here's one that I don't think anyone has done. (maybe because it's so trivial). I added Honda felt pads to the bottoms of the front dash cupholders. Don't ask me why. I was running out of low cost mods so I thought of this when I was installing the new armrest.
On the older generation GE's the original back of the console had a felt pad in the base of the back cupholder. When you add the armrest, the felt pad is discarded. Well I found that the pad fits pretty well in the base of the front dash cupholders, so I stuck it in the driver's side. After that, it always annoyed me that I only had a pad in the drivers side, and not on the passenger side. So last Bernardi order, I included one of these pads for the other side. See images below.
Here's the pad - costs less than a cup of coffee, but keeps the bottom of your cup nice and cozy
Before
After Not an exact fit, but no one will ever notice.

For the front cup holder liner I used the pad/cover which was in the center, where the armrest console goes. Since it was no longer being used I tried it out and it fit quite well.
Apparently one of the Honda service employees thought it was a good idea as well, cause it went missing right after I took it in for the LMS recall...
So I then bought 2 of them for the front (both sides), it's part # 83410-TF0-003ZA

Great mod... I'm surprised I haven't seen more people post about it.
