I did not realize that blanks would be wanted but now i know and will order some from the factory but will be at least a month. You can buy the 460HP or 650HP now and i will send you just the blank handle when it comes in so you can just switch them. I dont customize but there are stickers available on line that you can buy like Z51

If I purchase one, I might also want a blank one, because on the lower dash, right in front of the cupholder, sits my Z06 badge, which already says "650 HORSEPOWER/650 LBS FT TORQUE."
Having something similar on the cupholder might be overkill.
I still like what you came up with, though!
(Would they be available anywhere else besides eBay? I've never purchased anything there.)

Im out of blanks and will have in about 3 weeks but if you look at my photos i have the 460HP right in front of the 460HP on the cup and its not over kill to me. Thats actually my vett. On ebay its item # 233121609877 just type that into the seach bar. If you purchase the 650HP now i will send you just the blank handle when the come in and send it to you so at least for now you will have a nice funtionable cup holder or remove the other 650HP sticker as these are really cool.

Great Clever Idea and congratulations and GLWS. For me, drinking in the car is not worth $50 and I think the logos and horsepower stickers cheapens the look of the interior and plain is the way to go for me. If it was 50% less in cost or maybe $30, I would purchase it plain with no logos not because I really need it but just because it comes in handy when needed.
I do understand that you want to recoup investment and production cost as you should! I wish you well in your endeavor and hopefully be able to get your cost down and sell at a good price point to sell in high volume as there is a need that is being filled but it really boils down to price vs need. I definitely can see where it comes in handy if you want to have a beverage and step on the gas or stop suddenly.
Good Luck with Sales and again Great idea and when the price comes down to what I would be will to spend I will purchase one just because!

How does the telescoping movement work. Do you have to pull up on the cylinder? Or is it similar to a pen...push down and it pops up...then push down again and it'll stow retracted?
Sweet and innovated idea sir.

Hi and thanks for the comment. Ebay noticed it is a nice product so offered me a 10% discount on my seller fees so i did just pass this on to my listing. So under item #233121609877 shows a 10% discount in the listing.
