adding cupholder to bench seat ideas

[onyxxtreme]

I got the standard split-bench seat, with the fold down arm rest. I found a cupholder at pull-a-part that has holes for 2 drinks.
I was looking for ideas to incorporate it into the arm rest. Anyone seen this done before, and have links or possibly seen a youtube vid?
I'm not educated in upholstery work, whatsoever. So I don't know how to properly attach the plastic cupholder to the cloth armrest to keep it attached and keep the material around the cupholder looking right.....and not "saggy" (is that even a word?)
Any help is appreciated, thanks again Gbody community.

8) I also have the same setup in my Monte Carlo. My plans are to get buckets for the MC. I have already acquired the console for the bucket seat setup. I plan on addin the cupholder insert in place of the floor shifter b/c i have a column shifter. I think this will be very unique.

Im planning the same thing on my interior. I was going to make a wooden plate with the holders and give it to my upholstery guy when he redid the interior. Gonna have some matching wood trim/bezels to go with it. I was going to make a mini console for the front as i am going with a columb shift. The split bench holders would be for people in the back. I may change that though when i take a good look at it. Still far from that stage of the project.
