That's why I bought this and would prefer to keep it:
Weather tech cup phone
$40 for a cup mount phone holder. There are tons on eBay for $5/10 that sit snugly in the cup holder. I have one and it works perfectly. I think I’ll save my money.

I have one similar to this and used it in my C5, C6 & C7 without any modifications on it. For the C8 I had to cut off a portion of the bottom otherwise it would have been too tall. My partner uses one of the slots for her water bottle and the second one for her sunglasses. No Corvette tax and free shipping.

Free returns if you are not satisfied.

Sounds like you need a different wife 😂🤣

I've put 25k on my 2020, all of it for fun, no commuting. I do an 90 mile PCH drive every other Friday, just because I love the ride. Your comment is ridiculous.

It's snug, no rattles. It's a great design imo.
Are you missing a couple of the larger cups on yours to make it fit tighter?

Tons of these out there. amazon doesn't charge the corvette luxury tax.

Does this one shown in the above Amazon link work in the C8? Has anyone actually tried it?

Looks like it would work as long as you have a seat and a console and I think most cars have both 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cup holder? What is this cup holder of which you speak? My '88 Ferrari doesn't even have a cup holder.

Attached my cellphone holder to a tray that mounts behind the infotainment screen. got the tray from amazon. This location keeps my old eyes close to the road.

I personally keep my phone in my pocket and use android auto with it. I can do everything via voice commands or the screen that I would do with my phone. Having the HUD also helps with google maps navigation being projected. The HUD and PDR are why I went with a 2LT only.

I could never have my iPhone mounted like that. That is too much in way of seeing out the window and crazy ugly....
