I think the cup holders in pic 1 are a bit more show than go. While they might look cool n custom (and they do), I just don't see those as a very effective cup holder. They don't look level, and the first bump will put coffee all over your nice seat cover. Personally, I'd prefer them over the floor somehow. If you look at the location of a 99-06 double cup holder for bench seat trucks, that's the location I'm talkin about. If you used the metal cup holders above, fab'ed up a bracket to bolt low in front of the seat to hold them, then I think you'd be in business. My 2 cents only - but I agree with Special K, pic 1 is not a simple cut and stuff job, that's a very custom upholstery job that I'm sure (ok, I hope) has some sort of backing/bracing to support the cup holders so they don't wiggle around in the vinyl, etc.
