I did something vaguely similar on my 240 awhiel back. 1990-1993? (I think) Honda Accords had a spring-loaded slide-out cupholder with a little tray thing at the bottom. The one I used came from a 92. It's kind of hard to describe, but anyway, I took the cupholder assembly and separated it from the tray. There were 3 (I think) mounting bosses which I ground off, and installed it in the top of the little box thing in the 240. I believe that it would have slid right in on an older 240, but the 91-up 240s had that amp behind the box and as such it's dimensions are slightly different. I had to do a little modification of the box but eventually got it to fit, and secured the cup holder assembly to the top of the box with some JB Weld. It's not perfect, but I still have some of the box left to hold CDs, cigarettes, whatever. The fit in the bevelled front of the console is perfect though, and it looks about stock to my eyes.
It holds most sane-sized cups from fast-food places, as well as 12 oz cans. There are some limitations, for example it's kind of in the way of my shifter when I put the car in park, but slipping the cup in after the car's in Park works fine. Also, the cup blocks the ashtray, but again I deal with it. The weirdly-shaped shifter console on the 93 sometimes keeps the cups from sitting perfectly flat. All in all, though, I think it's ok for the $3 it cost me at the PNP.
I can try to get a picture up here tomorrow sometime if anyone cares.
