a shout out for my new cupholders
I realize we have probably beaten this to death, but have to give some praise to a seller as much for the service as for the product. Hopefully, this does not violate any forum rules.
After reading about cupholders a few weeks ago, I found the ones that were an alternative to the "drink buddy" on ebay. Seller is okeesignguy, and item # is 171712155308.
These cupholders fold up flat, completely out of the way. And, the holder is adjustable for everything from a small water cup to a BigGulp. They are available in black or kind of a cream color. I got the black because the lighter color does not match the tan carpet, or cashmere seats. If something does not match, I prefer contrast.
Here is the service I want to rave about. The seller automatically puts the black holders onto a smoked lexan plate, and the cream color holders onto a clear plate. I did not know this, so when I got them, I saw that the smoked plate was going to look crappy against the tan carpet. I notified the seller, and he immediately shipped me the clear plate, no questions, no discussion. I switched out the holders myself, and am thrilled with the product. OKEESIGNGUY ROCKS!!!
At $41.50, total, this item solves a problem everyone complains about.
Thank you, also, to HOXXOH, for originally posting the pic of the item.

What would be the biggest cup size you can fit? I love to put my Yeti cup in the vette without tipping over.

I had those or some very similar and they were the best I've found.

I had a single cup version in my C5 some years ago and the plastic back plate broke in half. That part needs to be stronger. The adjustable part worked fine.

I have this holder in single form from my C5; it works great on drinks of almost any size and the best part is how little room is sacrificed when it is folded up.
