Default Cup holder inserts?

For no other reason, so we can read/discuss something that isn't about people arguing whether or not their C8 is or is not dropping in value.

I ordered these
cup mat/inserts cup mat/inserts
because they would match my sky grey two-tone nicely and it is easier to clean out little drink spills (I know, a different thread about whether or not sipping a drink in your car makes you some sort of Fascist).

However, they're a smidge too big - don't quite lay flat. They are listed at 2.75" and probably need to be like 2.65".

Anybody find cup mat/inserts that fit perfectly into the C8?

Try filing the bottom corner off to help fit the bottom contour. Your link doesn’t work for me, is it square edges?

send a message back to the seller. Where they created with a 3D printer. Purchased an item that was created with a 3D printer which was not right. Sent a note and received a new one

Got these for my C8, they are soft silicone, approx 2.75 inches each and fit beautifully in the cup holders on my C8.
Now granted they are not the fancy ones with the corvette logo and don't add the extra 5 HP that the corvette ones claim to add but they work just as well.
Oh and by the way, they cost me $1.37 for the pair, delivered to my door from the company TEMU.com

Took

I actually miss the option to remove the "two cup holder divider" piece like it was on my C7. Provided a nice rectangular storage area that worked great for glasses, phone ,etc.

I agree, the removable cup holder divider in the C7 was super convenient! It made for a much more versatile storage space.

Got these on Etsy. They are 3D printed, fit right into the cupholder insert that is already there and look very nice and come in different colors. May not catch a spill but I only put water bottles in them.

Nice. But after all the years with my C7 I never notice the ones I have in there.
