Default Blendmount Beta Tester!!

Maybe this has been posted, I just saw it on blendmount.com. Looks like they need a C8 Beta test car in the SF bay area. Good news they have something in the works! Could be free merch..

Something tells me that based on previous pricing we're looking at a $150 Blendmount for the C8.

The C7 was $139.99 so I'm figuring price increase and new tooling should raise it to $150 or more!

Wow That's more than I spent for my Escort Passport. I've had no problems with the 3 suction cups holding it and if they dry out there cheap to replace. Blendmount is now off the list.

The MAX 360 and MAX 360c are way too heavy for the single suction cup. This is especially true in the summer with the sun beating down on it.

The long sweeping windshield will challenge blend mount and Im a fan. I have a valentine one in my c8 off the passenger sunshade temporarily awaiting blend mount release.
