Default Cup Holders

Where can I get a cup holder that is actualy dep enough to hold asoda can or other cups? I have seen photos of holdersa that attach to the passenger side of the center console. Don' want to spend alot but the factory holder is useless unless your standing still.

I bought this from Corvette Central I think. I cut it in half because I didn't like it hanging over the side. Best cup holder I've ever used. Fits every size cup.

This is a pic of my $1.00 cup holder mod. It's actually one of those cup holder ashtray things you can find at Lowes for a buck. Just pop the top off, screw it into the factory cupholder, and you're all set to hold any drink. Can of soda, bottle of water, 24 oz. coffee, you name it. I've taken turns so fast the back end slid out nicely, hit the gas off the light so hard the traction control kicked in, and I've never spilled a drop. Best thing is, it's black, and looks like it came from the factory. I tried a couple different holders, and this one works like a charm.

Nope, that's the only one. It raises up about three inches from the console. Doesn't intefere with any HVAC or radio controls.

I actually put one in the wife's stocking for Christmas...I already have a cup holder in the vette Hokey is a good description but it works very well!!!! And Lori is very good to deal with

...however, I did raise some eyebrows when a packaged marked "girl in a box" arrived at work. With a red face, I opened it quickly to show everyone I wasn't some perv buying a blow up doll :o
