Default Another Cupholder Thread

So that shallow, useless Cupholder in my 01 has a broken door. A replacement door is available thru Ecklers, but is it necessary?

Isn't there a plug in style double Cupholder that's deeper thus useful available anywhere?

Or in my limited C 5 experience is there a better alternative available?

Anybody that can provide some direction for me would be very much appreciated.

Allow 3-5 seconds for install, though. So make sure you have enough beer.

Best mod ever.

I don't see what the big deal about cup holders is. Why are all these vette owners in need of something to hold a Big Gulp so big it would make Michael Bloomberg burst a blood vessel?


Buy smaller drinks, or wait until you get there.


I hardly ever use drink holders in any car.........
