Thanks for all the compliments guys! And yes I can reach it while driving however, stoplights are more convenient as Im not as limber as I used to be lol.
I took a stock vert waterfall, cut off the top couple inches, then I took plastic rain gutter channel to "branch" away from the fall, then it was just add more fiberglass til it fit correctly. The cup holders were molded out of a couple of Dodgers cups lol since they cant win baseball games they could hold my drinks! lol
After I finished the project is when I found some people offering them sans drink holders, which I would just add to one of the pre made ones

Thanks again guys for the cool words!

Well, exactly, these are a good 4 or 5 inches deep, and reaching them is no tougher than a mild shoulder stretch.

I might have been tempted to put two tweeters in there or an iphone dock, or a recessed tray. looks good.

I have one from RPI designs. Don't know if they still make them, but their products are first class with excellent customer service.

Just checked and they do still make it.

Can't help with your question, but thread you replied to is 6 years old.

May want to try posting a NEW thread for fresh ideas. Welcome to the forum

Yes this is an old thread, but I'm looking for ideas also. I just ordered a waterfall from Contemporary Corvettes to try to come up with a way to make it work. I like the ones from RPI and Scorpion both I just don't like the $500 price tag, plus the sense of satisfaction you get when you do it yourself. I'll take pictures and if I'm successful post them here so y'all (yes I'm in Texas) can see my crazy way of thinking.

Well I ordered the Red Waterfall out of a wrecked Corvette from Contemporary Corvettes and something went wrong, they said they couldn't find the one they advertised. I tried to call RPI, left them a voice mail and never heard back from them.
I can't win!
I'll have to wait until Contemporary Corvettes gets another red one.
