Installation is the easiest thing ever ... all you need to do:

1.) flip up the arm rest and unscrew the two bolts inside the center console
2.) lift the entire center console - helps if the handbrake is up - the front of the center console snaps in, so just pull up on it and it will come out.
3.) remove the IC spray switch
4.) unscrew the existing cupholder, screw the new one in
5.) re-assemble
6.) MOST IMPORTANT: Make a run for the border!!!

I don't have the part number right now, but I'll look it up later this morning ... my receipt is floating around somewhere...

As I said before, the reason I decided to hide the IC spray switch is that I have never used in over 30K miles of driving. I think that eventually I probably will splice in a couple of wires to the switch wiring to let my XEDE control IC sprayer activity, but that's still a ways off...

Cool mod for those who love to fab and tinker to further customize/personalize the "VO"...BTW what's the deal with the Sprayer switch? I use mine everytime I'm in the car (I just like hitting dem switches on all of them b**tches) kinda like sitting in a rocking chair: gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere ;-)

some observations

1. give up that soda crap (and cut back on the taco bell) or switch to red bull
2. use the cupholder in the back (if the evo has one)
3. get a girlfriend (previously mentioned)
4. buy a camelback
5. or start drinking this (or similar soda like alternatives)...

I can't even get home without breaking a carton of eggs from the store 1 mile away, how can you keep any soda in a cup without a screw-on cap?

Ok, the part number is: MR648052

This is for a grey cupholder. I have no idea if the part number for a black cupholder is the same.
