The nice thing about all of the options mentioned, they can quickly and easily be restored back to the original!

Contact: Yves Paprocki in Quebec, Canada. He refurnished all the wood interior trim for my 93 coupe. Also, I bought a cup ski slope from him. His email: ypaprocki97@gmail.com.

He and the contact in Florida (you mentioned) are rivals. I stayed with Ives. He has a variety of wood grains and types (burl, knotty, tiger, etc.) He has a website.

And the angle of the lid is oddly a more comfortable position for my forearm while driving.
got this off of Ebay. works great, cheap and removable.

1 of many aftermarket options available. Good choice since it allows more than just a cup of something. Personally, I didn't like the look and passengers commented about them "being in the way".
