Default Additional Storage Space Solution for the C5 Coupe

In our search for an additional storage space solution for our C5 Coupe, we came across this new product...well, at least it was new to us. Fortunately, WCC had these 'in stock', so I purchased two of them, during their recent 'Open House' event...one for my wife's C5 Coupe and one for my brother's C5 Coupe. This particular item works as good as it looks, as well as being inobtrusive...utlizing unused interior space.


From WCC's website...

Add this storage console onto your C5 Coupe (Coupe model only - does not fit convertible models) for extra space to store cups, coins, cell phones, paperwork, sunglasses or whatever else you can fit into it. Finally there is a way to have easy storage with easy access in your Corvette. Easy installation requires no cutting or drilling. Will not work with Cargo mat.

Sometimes every little bit of storage space helps.

Lets see how long it takes for someone to Mod it

How much did it cost and what did you think of the quality?

Looks like it would be awkward getting too while driving.

Ah, just 'slap' a C5 logo emblem on it and it'll look even better. It actually looks pretty good...especially for fifty bucks. We use the cup holders for storing our extra bottled water, as accessing them whilst driving only works for the passenger...unless the driver's a contortionist.

Here's the WCC link for it, its $69.95. I'm seriously considering it, especially for road trips.

A nice holder for sunglasses and the garage door opener.

You may want to check with them before ordering, as the last time I looked, it was still 'on sale' for only $49.95.

I did check, in fact I ordered one yesterday. The $49.95 "on sale" price is for C6's only.
