Default Cup holder problem solution!!!!!

Hi everyone, i posted this in the C7 general discussion but thought i would post it here as is Z06 specific.
As mentioned, i also own a C7 and love the car but hate that center divider cup holder as anything i put in there flops out causing a terrible mess. Even that plastic center divider flops out! I did not want to buy a tall cup holder because i could not close the lid. So out of frustration i designed my own. It came out so nice, i wanted to share it with the rest of my C7 family so i made the investment and now have them in stock. Its called "Stop Flop" and is an extendable and retractable cup holder that simply attaches to the bottom of the console opening with very thin velcro and comes with the 650HP or 460HP logo printed on the center handle. It can be seen on ebay item # 233121609877 or type in C7 cup holder in the search bar. Thanks
Dave




Cups down so the lid can close!

Are these available without the silly, juvenile HP advertisement. I'm a buyer if they are.

Also interested in a non-logo version. I may have missed it but what's the cost on these?

Hi they are on ebay item #2331216099877 and around $44 Free shipping. It was a big investment! Plastic injection molding are very expensive and this cup holder has 4 different molds plus the CAD design fee, plus shipping, plus the cost of the product!!! ouch!!

I have mine on order. It will ship soon. If you had a C5 that was even worse. This is nice for the long trips so you have somewhere to put your ice coffee drink or water that won’t spill.

Excellent solution to correct a dumb design. I don't carry drinks in mine but if I did I would have one of these on order.

Thanks and it actually took quite a bit of designing to get them to perfected.

Hi Boo, i will try to remember this post for you but its difficult as getting many requests for no logo. It would be best to order one now and will put you on the prioirty ship list which will assure you get one as have limited suppy for the no logo as not sure how many will sell and dont want to sit on inventory. I just spoke to the factory and almost certain to have them in a week and half or 2 weeks.
