Just don't try driving around with those bottles there because they will most likely tip over and spill. It seems that the cup holders are much wider than a standard bottle of water and they fall over when you take a turn.
I have yet to find a brand of bottled water with a bottle the right size, ie. bigger than normal.
Any ideas anyone??

What I did for the rear holder was cut a few plastic discs out of some milky colored plastic and placed at the bottom of the holder. I altered the standard placement of the bulb by putting it dead center on the bottom of the well, and then placed some small felt pads at the bottom to keep the plastic off the bulb. Looks really good w/o a bottle of water in there.
Im sure you could do the same for the front two.\
Or get 2 discs and place differnt colors/thickness of paper in between to alter color pattern.

the bottles will tip over and spill? I thought thats why they have caps. . . just sayin. But, I suggest maybe you try one of the Liter sized aquafina (sp?) bottles, those are a little larger and they might work. Just cut off the wrapper and fill it up. If you have blue LED's, try putting a highlighter stick in them because they might cause them to glow bright yellow or what ever color you decide to use. (might have the UV light effect)

During one of our many hurricanes last year (Florida) we were handing out Miller Light branded 40oz bottles of water. There were some Budweiser water beer cans around also. They were showing thier support for the hurricane relief with some humor.

If you want the Scion factory kit, watch eBay for a while to get the $78; it shows up every other week or so. I also found the $124 price straight off the Net anytime. Someone might know of a better deal. Good hunting, Frank
