Default Cupholders

Ok guys. This season I need a cupholder. I'm sick of my water bottle flying across the pass seat. So I ask you, what cupholder are you using!?

These work great, come in single and dual in black and remove in seconds. Available at most all vendors or ebay.

These work great...they hold a water bottle tightly and will adjust out to Big Gulp size and the best part is that they collapse flat when not in use...great for the passenger...

This is not attached to the car...it is mounted on a clear Lexan sheet that slides up under the console just like 65GGvert's...

Very nice. Can these be used in a C6 as well or is it only for the C5?

Where did you buy your double version at?

Thanks. Got mine from West Coast Corvette. Link is below. Not sure if this is compatible with the C6.

When I looked at these I saw the edges that touch the carpet are quite thin. I was a little concerned about trying it. I was also thinking about modification to widen the edges.

I see some marks in the carpet next to the cup holder. Did the cup holder cause these marks? Is it permanent damage to the carpet, or does it come out if you rub it to rearrange the carpet fibers?

Brushes out with your fingers. There's not a lot of pressure against the carpet, even less with the double. You just can't find the double in shale anymore. And black carpet doesn't show the lines like the shale does either. You'll be happy with these cupholders except for the price.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll try one.

I don't recommend the storage console, see photo, I had one, sold it, and any cups or bottles fell out of it all the time though it does have some storage compartments but my phone didn't fit and the other compartment I found useless but someone else may like it.
I love the travel Buddy, see photo, it looks and fits perfect for me.

Not bad, nice way of attaching, and I like the way they close out of the way. Has my vote but with my luck they would probably would let go on me.

Try the net, as in Mercedes. I use it as a universal holder. Very comfortable.
