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".

Default XJS cup holder remedy

This is my remedy for my 96 XJS. It was cheap and works for me. I wish the chrome accent was not gold but it comes off. Bonus is that it also has pockets on either side for storage.
