Default Corvette Parts At Walmart?

Started looking for a new rubber liner for my cup holder, if you can call it a cup holder, and came across this. Not sure if Walmart has the best price though.

As I'm sure you figured out, it's 3rd party kind of like Amazon.
There was some drama not that long ago with them selling shirts that were deemed racist, but it was just a 3rd party selling them and it slipped through the automated cracks.
If the price is good and you can get shipping included, go for it.

IMO, THATS awfully high price for an item most people dislike anyway. I'd try to fabricate something better out of an alternate material, like neoprene?

or you can just direct order it from corvette mods. as they are the sold and shipped by people parking their products on walmarts website. FYI corvette mods were removed as a vendor on here.

When I started my search Walmart was the first on the list. After three pages on the google list Corvette Mods came up twice and both had a different price, with one that matched the Walmart price. The cheapest was from a recycle site for $13 plus shipping but out of stock. Corvette Central, Ecklers and a few others want $16 and up plus shipping for this "special" little POS.
Does anyone make a custom console replacement that has at least two American sized cup holders that are far enough away from the shifter so they can be used?

I sent for two of these (also come in gray)https://airboatdepot.com/adjustable-...der-black.html. Then took a piece of thin plexiglass and cut it to size to slip under the side of the console to the floor. Then wrapped it in thin black carpet (I have a black interior) and glued it down to the plexiglass. Then secured the cupholder to the plexiglass with small screws after drilling pilot holes. I then slid the top of the plexiglass under the passenger side console and maneuvered it so it was tight against the floor. I only mounted one but there was room for two I think which could be accomplished by using a longer piece of plexiglass. It works real well and can be folded up out of the way when not in use. I could post pics if anyone is interested.

My wife bought me a wonderful C5 counter stool for my man cave from Wallymart, sadly, the first time I put my fanny upon it, it split...

Did it split in an advantageous spot?

Same here. It sure would be nice to have a functional cup holder instead of a change holder they call a cup holder.

That sounds like too much hassle. I'll let you off the hook.
