Nothing wrong with pinball buttons on the side.  That's where they belong.

It only matters what you think.  .. and if you have to make a poll you prolly don't want em.  Me.  Got both and they both get used.

Cup holders are the good.

Gotta have the beer handy and steady.

Yes if they are recessed.

No if they are hanging off the sides.

Cupholders are a great idea, but I don't see why your chick has to stand on the side of the cab.No reason she can't be getting potato chips while she's holding it, as long as she comes back with the beer when you yell.

I recessed the pinball buttons into the front of my cabinet and put the cupholders on the backside of the cp.  I left the sides blank so they can hold the light guns when I get them installed. >:D

Based on the Poll results, flippers (pinball buttons) and beverage holders  :cheers: look popular, Awesome even!

My cab sports lit flippers and nudges/bump buttons on each side.  I throughly enjoy playing pinball with them!

I'm currently investigating some very nice "beverage" (beer) holders to complement them.
I found these, but may have to construct a bottom / ledge, but they look pretty hi-tech.  My friend has them installed in his Boxster and they look great.

While I'm still investigating, does anyone else have a holder they would like to share?  I once saw one constructed out of some translucent material that was back-lit with an Led that looked very nice.

I actually use one of my cup holders to hold the light guns.  It works out pretty great...
